Product Description
Imagine an almond friand full of white nectarine, blood orange and rockmelon – laced with linseed, tarragon and lightly smoked tea. This is an alternative style that is both intricate and textural, a delicious concoction created by fermenting sauvignon blanc entirely with naturally occurring yeast.

"Ex-Cloudy Bay winemaker Kevin Judd's wines are never shy and never boring. This wine is an opulent Sauvignon, quite the opposite of the Marlborough style most are familiar with. Wild fermented in oak barrels, it's a heady combo of lemon, toast, salted cashew and wild herb. The full-bodied palate is highly textural but not heavy thanks to a good lick of acidity. Herbs, lemon rind and toasty oak ripple right through the finish."
