This is Anna & Jason Flowerday's inaugural Sauvignon Blanc release under their SV 5182 designation. It is the culmination of a five-year project they've been pursuing from their biodynamically farmed home block.
The majority of the hand-picked and hand-sorted fruit is fermented in large, old French oak demi-muids, and all parcels spend a good while on fine lees post ferment. It has purity, yet with detail and fleshiness. On the nose and palate you'll find notes of ripe tropical notes with stone fruits, basil and lime, with a lovely line of ripe minerality and juicy acidity.
A rich, textural sauvignon blanc, with extra weight and complexity achieved by barrel-fermenting 75% of the juice. Capsicum, melon and passionfruit flavours, with a seasoning of nutty oak and yeast lees character and a subtle struck flint reductive character 25 JAN 2017 Drink 2016–2020
