A wine that shows the versatility of Sauvignon Blanc. It was handpicked and then whole bunch pressed to older oak for fermentation. It has an extended time in oak which has worked wonders in helping to create the luscious complexity on the nose and the palate. Rich and intense with notes of cumquat, apricot and creamy nuts. Love the clean finish after so much in the middle palate. A wine that shows the versatility of Sauvignon Blanc. It was handpicked and then whole bunch pressed to older oak for fermentation.
