Cape Landing Blackwood Sauvignon Blanc 2024

From a vineyard in the Forest Grove sub-region of Margaret River, the wine spent seven months on lees in French oak, followed by another couple, after blending, in stainless steel. 10% of the oak was new. The colour is a shining lemon with the nose offering notes of citrus, florals, gooseberries, nettles, dry herbs, lychees, vanilla and herbal touches. A lovely creamy texture and the use of oak has added an extra, if almost invisible, dimension. Showing good acidity and impressive length, this is very well balanced. Enjoy this over the next four to seven years and expect more improvement over that time.
