Tasting notes
The 2022 Wild Sauvignon is ever an elegant affair, and this year feels quite restrained in its outlay of fruit, oak and spice. I love this wine; it ages beautifully, and it shows the serious, more complex side of Sauvignon Blanc. This is highly recommended. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Lots of character to this, with apples, pears, popcorn kernels and blanched nuts. It’s medium-bodied with delicious fruit and a flavorful finish. A serious savuignon blanc for chardonnay lover. Flinty and reductive at the end. Screw cap.
The 2022 Wild Sauvignon is always sensitively constructed, standing out as one of the most successful whites of this tricky vintage. Wild fermented in barrel and left on lees for 11 months, this is layered, detailed and textured. It may not have the intensity nor persistence of the superlative 2021 vintage, but it does have a delightful mid-palate feel and fine linearity. The 2022 is nuanced and aromatic, with flavors of blackcurrant, nectarine and white flowers combining with flinty reductive notes and nutty characters. I can see this improving with some bottle age, but I'd happily drink it now.
