Savage White 2022 is produced from a blend of 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Sémillon. This wine continues to be produced from three vineyard sites, grown in a combination of sandstone and granite soils. Grapes are whole-bunch pressed and then transferred to a selection of 500-litre barrels (20% new) and concrete eggs where spontaneous fermentation and aging takes place. Malolactic fermentation takes place in the Sémillon and occasionally the Sauvignon Blanc depending on the vintage. Wines are aged for 12 months in barrel and concrete followed by a further 2-3 months in stainless steel. Bottled at 13.5%. (Bottle size 750ml)
Nose: Inviting fruit aromas of peach, pear, gooseberries, blackcurrant leaf and hints of grapefruit.
Palate: Citrus fruit grapefruit, lemon and lime and unripe peaches. Lovely mid-palate weight with a very subtle waxy texture.
Finish: Refreshing acidity with lingering flinty minerality and salinity.
