PB Sauvignon Blanc 2023

A selection of the fruit was fermented using whole bunch, and then matured on skins for 200 days, to give added complexity. A small portion of barrel aged Semillon has also been included in the finished wine, for extra richness and texture. Both varieties were aged on their natural deposits of yeast lees (sur lie) for approximately 10 months, prior to blending.

Pale straw in colour, the nose serves up a tempting amalgam of exotic, mineral and zesty notes. Impressions of melon, guava and passionfruit interplay with touches of green apple, honeysuckle, freshly podded peas, lemongrass, and a hint of wet river gravel. The palate is generous but focused, richly textured with invigorating acidity, giving length and a racy freshness. Heightened phenolics from extended skin contact imbue the wine with added complexity, enthralling the taste buds on the long and structured close.
