Saint Maur is one of our premier vineyards
consistently producing outstanding sauvignon
blanc
Harvest & Winemaking:
January 2018 was one of the hottest on
record, followed by February which was
one of the wettest. Warm nights led to low
acid levels and an early harvest. The grapes
were hand-picked from single cane vines
at optimum ripeness and lightly pressed to
concrete egg tank, clay amphora and seasoned
French oak barrels for wild fermentation. The
wine was then aged for 11 months in these
various vessels on full yeast lees.
Winemaker: David Clouston
Tasting notes:
Bright lemon in colour, this alternative style
sauvignon blanc displays flint and mineral
characters combined with lemon balm,
toasted almond and brioche notes. Elegant
and complex, the palate is balanced with
creamy texture, a beautiful acid backbone and
harmonious finish.
Fabulous with shellfish.
