2023 Deep Down Sauvignon Blanc

Where: Marlborough, New ZealandGrapes: Sauvignon BlancBody: Light/MediumCategory: White Wine By ‘turning the volume down’ from the typical style of Marlborough, you can taste the meyer lemon, ripe pear and salty mineral flavors.  A very rare creation from Marlborough being wild fermented, 100% malolactic and only receiving a touch of sulphur at bottling. Old vines and silty soils (rather than gravels) ensure there is a talcy texture. A long 3 month ferment, malolactic and being raised in 35 year old puncheons means the fruit isn’t high-toned and the acids aren’t shouting. True to its origins but with nuance, drinkability and flow. organic  // native yeasts // vegan 2023  //  750ml
