Spoke Resolute Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023
I love that winemaker Ben Glover has used the words ‘feral fermentation’ on the back label of this wine because that’s exactly what’s happened to create this fabulously funky, moody, broody style. Wild yeasts, a long, slow ferment, and extended time being matured on its lees has created a Sauvignon Blanc with depth, interest, complexity and a smoky backbone to support its fennel, melon, lemongrass, bruised basil, and charred capsicum characters on the nose and palate. Chill only slightly, then serve with Greek zucchini bake. Drink now through 2027.
