TASTING NOTES

The 2024 S.R.S. Sauvignon Blanc has a punchy varietal nose with some lees and savoury notes, plenty of grapefruits, guava and lychee. The palate shows hints of oyster shell and other savoury elements from the wild ferment with grape solids. The style is deliberately savoury, concentrating more on texture and complexity rather than sheer fruit power. Great to drink with food, the wine will really blossom over the next 6 months and drink well for the next 3-5 years.

WINEMAKING NOTES

We only use the juice referred to as the ‘heart material’, this is the first 150 litres per tonne of juice that is extracted from the first pressing. This juice has the most flavour and the lowest phenolic pick up, a requirement for the SRS range of wines. Light pressing produces nicely turbid (cloudy grape solids) juice levels, perfect for wild ferments and the complexity that we’re looking for in these wines. Half the juice is fermented in stainless steel barrels with VL3 yeast, the other half is fermented in second use Bordeaux cooped oak and wild fermented. Best barrels are then combined.
