2022 Greywacke Wild Sauvignon

Fermented predominately in old oak barrels using wild yeast then matured in the same barrels for around 6 months with occasional lees stirring. Approximately two-thirds underwent malolactic fermentation.
Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Jumping out of the glass is a complex mix of herbaceous gooseberry, guava, citrus, grassy asparagus, pencil shaving and subtle gun flint notes. Mouthfilling gooseberry and passionfruit flavours are delivered with excellent concentration and textural volume across the palate. Lending further interest are notions of herbaceous grassy characters, asparagus and spicy pencil shavings. Enveloping yet refreshing it has crisp acidity finishing dry, long and savoury.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Lots of character to this, with apples, pears, popcorn kernels and blanched nuts. It’s medium-bodied with delicious fruit and a flavorful finish. A serious savuignon blanc for chardonnay lover. Flinty and reductive at the end. Screw cap.

A stunning white, aromatic and supple, with wild fennel, quince, pear and green papaya flavors on a creamy frame. Aromatic details of mango and honeysuckle, with a whiff of flint, emerge on the finish, which just goes on and on. Drink now.
