Idiom Sauvignon Blanc 2024 Barrel-Fermented

R250.00

A delicate and complex barrel fermented Sauvignon Blanc. Unlike a typical crisp Sauvignon Blanc, this style is more textured and rounded. The oak adds a creamy mouthfeel while the natural acidity keeps the wine fresh and balanced. Lime yellow in colour. Inviting notes of citrus and stone fruit, alongside more subtle notes of orange blossom, white pepper, and light toast and vanilla from the oak.

Vinification Details

The grapes were picked in early morning and transported to the cold container for overnight storage. The next day the grapes were first bunch sorted before being destemmed and then berry sorted. The berries went straight into the press, and the juice thereafter was settled for 2
days before being racked and inoculated for fermentation. This wine is 100% French oak barrel fermented and aged for approximately 9 months in French oak, giving it a more structured and layered profile.
