2017 Greywacke Wild Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough

‘Fermented in barrel using indigenous yeasts and transferred out of oak before the following harvest, with a further eight months on lees in tank. The lees, struck flint and subtle oak influence sit nicely alongside bright, herbal-dominant sauvignon blanc characters.’

A difficult vintage due to cyclones during the harvest period, yet there's a highly successful, powerful wine here. You can expect flesh on the palate, tied together with a taut acid structure that leaves you smacking your lips. Flinty characters, flirty floral aromas and a tangy green element combine on the mid-length finish, reminiscent of nettles and mint. Drink in the short to medium term.

Grøn appelsin, våde sten, drivhusagurk og mango. Afslører et let laktisk præg, måske fra sur lie, dog uden det er på bekostning af friskheden. Fin koncentration og balance. Diskret fylde.
