Sauvignon Blanc

A new release and an award-winner, we are thrilled to re-introduce our estate Sauvignon Blanc; a rich, decadent wine that pairs exceptionally with a meal! This wine spent 5 months on ” sur-lie” and developed a little brioche character. 2023 was an excellent harvest for this white wine which is why we have reintroduced it after an 8 year hiatus.
