Tasting notes
The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc is laced with lemon peel, crushed rocks, slate, green apple, mint and white pepper. Bright and sculpted in the glass, the 2022 is a gorgeous, super-expressive Sauvignon Blanc that leans more into the orchard fruit end of the flavor spectrum.

The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc is slightly richer, with riper citrus, white peach, and tart pineapple notes in a medium-bodied, pure, layered, elegant style. As with all the releases here, it’s impeccably made and brings a terrific mix of richness and freshness.
A blend of 93% Sauvignon Blanc and 7% Sémillon, Sentium's 2022 Sauvignon Blanc was fermented and matured in a variety of small vessels, roughly one-third each stainless steel, concrete and oak (puncheons), spending 10 months on the lees prior to racking and bottling. It comes across as slightly restrained aromatically, with just a hint of honey to go along with bright grapefruit and lime notes. It's medium-bodied and seems less plump than the 2021, more direct and linear, with a long, tangy finish. Production was 900 cases.
