Note di degustazione
A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, the Savage Wines 2023 Savage White is the only wine in the portfolio that sees a little bit (10%) of new oak. The intent is to offer a textural interpretation of these two grapes. The wine shows natural freshness, white flowers, wood spice and a hint of reduction. The 2023 vintage was cooler, like 2017, making for a classical growing season. This wine has a long saline finish with orchard fruit and pear with a mid-weight approach. The wine is left on the lees for as long as possible to augment that impression of salinity and to create longevity. The first vintage of the Savage White was 2012, and the first vintage of the Savage Red was 2011.

The 2023 White Blend is 76% Sauvignon Blanc and 24% Sémillon, matured in 20% new oak barrels with more malo than the 2022. This has a complex bouquet with beeswax, wild mint and fennel, the Sémillon marrying beautifully with the Sauvignon. The palate is well balanced with a keen line of acidity. Very poised with impressive weight, it dovetails into a pretty, floral finish. Wonderful.
