Hunter’s Kāho Roa Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2017 $23.90
Sourced from the clay-rich soils of their Omaka vineyard, the fruit for this sauvignon was crushed and the cloudy, high-solids juice poured directly into old French oak puncheons for a wild yeast (spontaneous) fermentation. The wine was then aged on its lees for 6 months before bottling, which injects a creamy-softness to the tight herbaceous lines that are laced with smoke and struck match notes. Lemongrass, grilled capsicum and peapod characters make this so much more than just a sauvignon. Love it.
