95pts Ray Jordan 2024 WA Best Sauvignon Blanc "It's a beautiful wine with cellaring potential."
Nice tension and texture to follow with green passionfruit and redcurrant flavours then tightening up to a long, fine and detailed finish."

Tasting Notes
This distinctive wine has been a favourite of mine for some years. This one shows a little less overt oak and consequently is a more balanced wine. The lemony oak and lightly tropical fruit have an infusion of lemon zest to lift with a little of that fresh lychee character adding further complexity. It's a beautiful wine with cellaring potential."
Winemakers Note
GROWING SEASON
A perfect growing season. Warm and dry throughout with light January rains to keep the vines happy. The wines are flavoursome and concentrated, characterized by exceptional length and purity.
VARIETY
Sauvignon Blanc
WINEMAKING
Fermentation and maturation in 500L French oak puncheons allows a gentle ingress of oak elements, while preserving freshness. Sauvage remains on its yeast sediment “sur lie” during maturation, This process of yeast cell breakdown adds depth and richness to the palate.
MATURATION
1/3 new 500L French oak puncheons for 10 months. The wood is primarily from the Vosges and Allier forests.
