The grapes were allowed extra time on the vine to develop full ripeness before being harvested, giving the wine plenty of flavour while retaining the freshness and acidity you'd expect from Sauvignon Blanc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere's some clever winemaking going on here too. After an overnight maceration and cool fermentation, around \u003cstrong\u003e20% of the wine is fermented in second-fill French oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and left on its lees for three months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDon't expect a big, oaky Sauvignon. The barrel fermentation is there to add texture and complexity rather than obvious oak flavour, giving the wine a little more depth while keeping everything wonderfully fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe drink plenty of Sauvignon Blanc, but this is something a little different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou still get the \u003cstrong\u003earomatic freshness and crisp acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e that makes Sauvignon so easy to drink, but there's a lovely flinty, mineral character running through it and a bit more texture from the partial barrel fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're normally reaching for \u003cstrong\u003eLoire Sauvignon Blanc or good cool-climate Sauvignon\u003c\/strong\u003e, give this a go.
