Note di degustazione
Currently reductive in the glass, the 2018 Reserve White needs time to come together. Under the reductive tones sway delightful aromas of citrus skin and green apple, elements of underripe peach, mango skin and dusty citrus blossoms. Medium-bodied, this biodynamic Sauvignon Blanc expresses sweet tomato vine and an electric acidity that makes me salivate. The long, textured finish includes a firm, mineral tension and elements of petrichor. It will continue to drink well for more than a decade but give it time to fully form in the bottle with at least one more year of cellar aging.

The 2018 White Reserve Biodynamic comprises whole-bunch-pressed Sauvignon Blanc fermented on the lees in barrel for 11 months. It has a beguiling nose that stops you in your tracks, presenting a mixture of yellow flowers, gooseberry tart, orange blossom and just a very slight reduction that works in its favor. The palate is wonderfully balanced, harmonious and nuanced, offering a fine bead of acidity and delicate kiwi fruit, nettle and dandelion notes intermixed with Granny Smith apples on the finish. Clever winemaking.
