The oak appears first on the nose

This wine is a must have

driving lees-inflected soapiness

Good depth to the colour

It displays an intense purple colour with violet floral aromas and flavours of ripe mulberries and chocolate combine with savoury notes and subtle spices of black pepper

2023 Sauvignon Blanc | Extended Time On Lees - SOLD OUT 94 points James Halliday The oak appears first onThe wine spends 15 months on its lees, which is, as per the name, quite extended! Lots of typical passionfruit, cut grass, cucumber and tonic water characters but with chalky texture, some gentle almond savouriness and licks of ginger and woody spice lending additional character. Amongst all this, crisp freshness and limey tang. Perhaps a touch diffuse in character overall, but a quietly complex wine nonetheless. Tasting notes by Mike Bennie Halliday
