Crittenden Estate Macvin #3 Savagnin NV Mornington Peninsula

The 3rd rendition is created with a blend of 50% flor-aged savagnin from the excellent 2017 vintage and savagnin grape juice from 2021, fortified with grape spirit then left in barrel for 10 months. It’s come together superbly. An enticing amber hue with dried pears, toast and honey, then pear juice and toasted pain d’épice flavours tantalise. The palate is luscious and sweet yet balanced with acidity; there’s a fineness if slippery texture across the palate. Hard to put the glass down. JF 17% alc.
