Rippon Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Exceptional, biodynamic Sauvignon Blanc. Bursting with energy and flavour. Lemon, lime, mineral. Utterly delicious.

Picked by hand into small, 10kg cases allowing the fruit to arrive at the the winery’s sorting table intact. It is then whole cluster pressed over 4 hours and run, by gravity, into a settling tank. 12 hours of settling is passed after which the juice is racked, retaining fine lees, and run separately into seasoned/neutral French oak barrels (approximately 50% of total) and
a fermentation tank (stainless-steel foudre).

Very intense and vividly fresh aromas of passion fruit and lime with a little edge of mineral. The palate has a very lithe, juicy and succulent feel with bright passion-fruit, green-peach and mango flavors. Focused, dry and fresh. From biodynamically grown grapes. 94 Points – Nick Stock (JamesSuckling.com)
