2022 Kobal Sauvignon Blanc, Haloze Hills, Slovenia Dry white wine

Some of the wine is barrel fermented with no added yeast to preserve local terroir, and some is cold-fermented for varietal character and freshness. 36-hour skin maceration and lees ageing are responsible for the wine’s depth and structure. Aged on lees in stainless steel tanks until bottling when it was lightly filtered and only a tiny amount of sulfite added. The bouquet is reminiscent of passion fruit, gooseberry, blackcurrant and grapefruit. Pleasant acidity and minerality on the palate are followed by the discreet creamy aftertaste that is typical of wines matured on lees. 1,250 cases made.

2021 Boschkloof Sauvignon Blanc, Stellenbosch

A wine created in a fruit driven style with kiwi, guava, goose berry, and hints of litchi flavors. These tropical characters are integrated with a balanced acidity that adds to the complexity. Great intensity and balance with a long lingering finish. 100% Sauv Blanc aged 4 months on lees.

2022 Salvard Unique Sauvignon Blanc, Loire

Nothing grassy or tropical about this little number.Instead, picture lime blossoms and white peach delivered via a lightning bolt of minerally refreshment, with more zippy citrus & blossoming flowers leaving your palate cleansed & utterly charmed.
