2022 Bannockburn Sauvignon Blanc

The aromas on offer are steely and minerally, with lemon, passionfruit and papaya layers, but on the palate the texture is stony, waxy, and complex. Some flavours of exotic fruits still present, along with wet stone and chalky characters, but there is also herbal savouriness to the wine. It finishes fresh with serious grip on the palate which insists upon it's integrity as a gastronomic wine.

The wine was whole bunch pressed and racked to tank for temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel. After fermentation the wine was racked to old barrels for an 6 month maturation on lees prior to bottling.

Primarily from a 1996 planting, mixed clay over limestone soils. Organically farmed with certification from vintage 2021 onward.
