About The Wine
This is one of those 'SBS' blends that just gets it right.
Great fruit, great oak, great acid - all in perfect balance. It comes from the busy Bruce Dukes and his Domaine Naturaliste label. This is a terrific way to get to try his wines.
'Sauvage' refers to the part wild ferment in this wine. It's complex and thought-provoking without ever losing its sheer drinkability and delicious fruit. Balance is at the heart of this outstanding blend.
This is a special white wine from an ultra-talented producer, drinking wonderfully with some time in the bottle. Highly recommend.

From The Producer
Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon cultivars are well adapted to our gravelly soils and maritime climate. Sauvignon contributing fragrance and Semillon texture and capacity for aging. They are from the cooler southern end of Margaret River, which is renowned for its fragrant white wines.
Bold aromas of red currant, passion fruit and orange blossom laced with exotic notes of lychee and clove. A creamy mouth filling palate delights the senses with an unexpected richness and depth of flavour.

Critic Reviews
"A 75/25% blend matured on lees for 10 months in French puncheons (33% new). A hauntingly complex bouquet has passionfruit, lemongrass and French oak aromas, the palate with unusual depth and classic length. Trophy Sydney International Wine Competition '16 and Margaret River Wine Show '16, both thoroughly deserved." - James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)
- ALAlice L.Verified BuyerRated 5 stars3 years agoElegant and complex
This punches well above its weight when it comes to complexity and length. Rich but still crisp, with the fruit balanced by grassy, smoky undertones.

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine.
