Byron & Harold Rags to Riches Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Not the first grape we think of from the Margaret River region, but one that has been around in the district for a long while, though it is more often found as part of the famous classic dry white blend. As a solo varietal wine, this offers a transparent lemon colour with flecks of green. A percentage of the pressings were wild fermented in oak, before they were blended back into the final wine, to increase complexity. The nose carries notes of spices and an intriguing blend of nettles and grass, along with more tropical characters, pineapple and passionfruit plus a soft minerally backing. An attractive wine of mid length to drink now for two to four years.
