Hans Herzog Estate Sauvignon Blanc Sur Lie 2020
13.8% abv
This is Marlborough, but a world apart, rivalling the finest Bordeaux Blancs. Untamed, with long skin contact for complexity and texture, ‘wild’ barrel fermentation without any additions and 20 months on the fine lees for its famous silkiness. The Sauvignon Blanc provides intrinsic aromatics and acidity, while Sémillon adds body and smooth texture. Explosively rich and completely dry, with intense minerality from the gravelly soils to complement the exotic fruit aromas of lychee, pineapple, and honeydew melon. Vibrant acidity stimulates the palate, keeping it watering throughout. The wine has great purity, leaving a refreshing yet weighty mouthfeel with remarkable vigour and persistence from start to finish. Handcrafted in tiny quantities for an incomparable artisan Sauvignon/Semillon ‘sur lie’.
