Inspired by white Bordeaux, there are some similarities to the long lived, white Bordeaux blends, such as the use of Sauvignon Blanc, new wood, and bottle aging, we look to co-fermentation as a way to weave the acid, power and structure of Petit Manseng with the aromas of Sauvignon Blanc. The aromatics highlight the warm, brioche character of the extended lees contact, with grilled tropical fruits and savory herbs. The preserved citrus and white flower attributes of the Sauvignon Blanc add great dynamics to the nose, resulting in an ever-evolving wine. The palate is powerful yet precise, with rich, ripe fruit, along with a savory, almost salty and textured middle that is lengthened by pronounced acidity carrying through the finish.
