It takes a brave and supremely confident producer to release a cellar-aged sauvignon blanc as museum stock. And here it is. It’s exceptional, too. Some barrel work and reductive lees handling has delivered a mid-weighted palate that is pungent and multilayered. Nettles, Greengage and Mirabelle plums, and blackcurrants on the palate. Well-positioned oak with impeccably proportioned fruit weight and structural attributes. Drink now. Screw cap.
