The colour medium deep, golden. Intense and varied on the nose, showing maturity. We perceive notes of fully ripe Sauvignon Blanc, where ripe tropical fruits, caramel and spices are dominant while classic grassy, vegetal, and green notes are gently expressed at the back. Sensations of barrel ageing are subtle, very much like in 2015. This is not “in your face” Sauvignon Blanc varietal aroma, but still clearly recognizable. Dry, full bodied on the palate. Acidity level is giving it a firm backbone and is surprisingly high considering the ripeness and alcohol level. Clearly a heavy-weight wine, but still giving a refined experience of a ripe Sauvignon Blanc.

Main courses with white meat and spicy sauces.

2017 vintage brought a very warm summer and one of the earliest starts of the harvest. In mid-September grapes were affected by a longer period of rain. Early ripening varieties fared much better, while late-ripening varieties had much less quantity.

36 months in small 600L French oak barrels. Matured on fine lees.

Already mature, but far from the peak. Due to its high acidity longevity is almost guaranteed. Drink from 2020-2027.
