Note di degustazione
Spontaneous ferment in 300- to 500-litre neutral oak. Smoky and lightly reductive. Herbal, fumy and enticing. This is gorgeous, has all the complexity of barrel-fermented Sauvignon and the freshness of an unoaked wine. More herbal than citrus, more complex than most Sauvignons, even than most barrel-fermented versions. Wild, herbal and fresh length. Superb wine. Might well age longer than this. GV (JH)

Made in an oxidative manner and matured in used barrels (apart from one), the 2015 Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc has a lifted bouquet with fresh pear and gooseberry scents, the barrel component neatly assimilated and barely noticeable. The palate is well balanced with a smooth texture, here that edgy oxidative note neatly counterbalances the oily texture with a vein of lemongrass on the finish. This is excellent.
