2019 LEGACY SERIES SAUVIGNON BLANC

Fruit from Block 1 picked on a flower day (MOSH), 8 days on skins, through basket to puncheons (20% new) where it matured for 6 months. 2019 was a cool year, producing mineral, aromatic and very fine wines. This is no exception. Salted edamame, sugar snap, jasmine tea, white currant, green apple skin, juniper berry and salt bush eddy around on the palate, swirling in and out of exotically spiced oak, crushed limestone/talc/basalt/ petrichor. Evokes cicadas on a hot afternoon sea breeze, somehow. This is the most profound sauvignon blanc in Australia. EL 12.2% alc.

What’s special about this wine, and when do you believe it will be at its peak for drinking?

Bright refreshing acidity, trailing through with crisp lemon, makrut lime, wonderful mouthfeel and texture with beautiful phenolic tension driving the flavours right to the back palate. Tremendous length and agility with enduring perfume and charm. This wine drinks perfectly with ceviche, oysters, scallops, and can be enjoyed now or for 20 years to come.

$100 / 2035
