2023 Sauvage Sauvignon Blanc
Lychee | Lemon Zest | French Oak
Lychee | Lemon Zest | French Oak
Sauvignon Blanc is well adapted to our gravelly soils and maritime climate. The fruit is from the cooler southern end of Margaret River, which is renowned for its fragrant white wines. Bold aromas of red currant, passion fruit and orange blossom laced with exotic notes of lychee and clove. A creamy mouth filling palate delights the senses with an unexpected richness and depth of flavour.
"One third French oak puncheons with a good old rest on lees. It's quite A LOT, though in a wild and good way. Passionfruit, lime, blackcurrant, green capsicum. lemon thyme and lavender, with a little spice and smoke in the mix. Plenty of flavour and intensity, bright acid cut, grapefruit and passionfruit, slightly creamy and savoury, powdery grip, with a tangy, zesty and juicy finish of excellent length. Lots of energy. No shortage of impact."

A sensational growing season. A moderate spring and start to summer allowed for slow and consistent flavour development, followed by a warm and dry finish leading into Autumn. The wines are bold and flavoursome, boasting exceptional concentration and intensity.
