Description

There's a lot to love about Yarra Sauvignon Blanc these days as good vignerons are seeking wines with flesh and depth as well as instant refreshment gratification.

Oscar Hermann's wild-ferment example is such a wine, flowing with citrus/ grapefruit flavours, supported by a stoney, mineral-salty mouthfeel. A bit of oak aging, and a couple of days of skin contact contribute complexity.

Sexy Sauvignon, and we don't say that too often.

93 Points - "Light tropical fruit, gooseberry, fresh mint, beeswax, a slightly wild/funky umami chicken stock thing too. It’s bright and juicy, passionfruit and pink grapefruit, a bit saline with it, excellent fine chalky texture, and a long finish bursting with citrus and pulpy tangy fruit and a savoury aftertaste. Really good. Different too." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

Fruit coming from a vineyard I have just leased in St Andrews YEEOW! Hand picked, destemmed, 2 days skin contact then pressed to a mix of old hogs heads and barriques and allowed to wild ferment. Full malo and a pinch of sulphur at bottling. Unfined and unfiltered. - Oscar Hermann
