"the original wild child"

|  S T O R Y  | forget about new zealand sav blanc and look at this varietal with a clean slate. The name “sauvignon” is derived from two French words: sauvage (“wild”) and vigne (“vine”). yes, this is the original wild child. our fumé is inspired by the great wines of pouilly fumé in the loire valley, france, where the varietal originated. sauvignon's abundant aromatics are tempered with a wild ferment and time on solids in french oak. fresh, floral, and savoury all at once. a crowd pleaser that unites sav blanc aficionados and chardonnay loyalists.

|  S T Y L E  | cold settled sauvignon blanc juice was wild fermented in french oak barrels, 20% of which are new. matured in barriques for 7 months, battonage for first 2 months. unfined with minimal filtration.

|  W I N E  | great structure and floral notes. freshly melted butter, nashi pear, just-ripe pineapple, wild berries, fresh fig, vanillin oak, bramley apple, sea spray and a hint of cinnamon spice.

|  E N J O Y  | pair with goats curd, sourdough and crisp wafers. or lightly battered and fried fish. or tempura veggies with kewpie mayo. or sushi with plenty of nori. if you hadn't guessed, this is a food-friendly wine - anything goes.
