The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is chalky and grassy, with beeswax, pressed flower, juniper, wind anemone and white pepper. I love the dried hay character here; it makes for a clothy, textural wine of presence and detail. The vines were planted from 1987 to 1993 on own roots and were unirrigated, biodynamically farmed and low-yielding. The wine spent three months on the primary lees, with 50% in barrel (neutral oak) and the balance in tank. It is unsulfured, with no additions or adjustments to the must. 13% alcohol, sealed under Diam.

Layers of pears, stone fruits and passion fruit on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with fine acidity and generous texture, giving notes of lemon peel, grapefruit and slate. Unique, mouthwatering and textured, coming from two days on skins after foot-stomping. Drink now.
