Sauvignon Blanc
Introducing a single barrel of Sauvignon Blanc! This wine is one we were waiting for. It wine fermented very slowly, stopped over the winter, and continued to ferment the last grams of sugar in the spring. Completing full malolactic fermentation this wine was bottled just last week, having aged in barrel for 11 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulphurs only at bottling (30ppm).
Exuberant and lush, aromatics of apricot and passion fruit puree lathered on a brioche bun. On the palate this wine shows richness and is best served cold (like revenge!).
Only 35 cases made.
$38/btl
WOTM Members: This wine will be sent to you shortly. It didn’t make it in time for the August shipment, but we will include it this month!
Fall For Chardonnay
Despite being from a cooler year, this is a very rich example of Chardonnay from the Foxcroft vineyard. Slightly off-kilter the first year or two, the palate is singing now and perfect for the cooler nights of Fall! Showing ripe notes of peaches, melon and beeswax over top of a rich and velvety palate.
Wild ferment, unfined, unfiltered with minimal sulphurs at bottling.
Only 8 cases remain.
$35/btl
91PTS – Michael Godel
“…The charming and natural beauty of a chardonnay originally locked in by a self-reflecting reductive tendency now emerges with full mellifluous smoulder and a honeyed smokiness… Now quite clear as a virtuoso soloist’s performance only made possible by chances taken, through the scientific experimentation of a winemaker with a sense of wonder. This performance of Foxcroft fruit has not been noted before and neither will it be repeated.”
