Marlborough Wild Sauvignon 2015

Made from Sauvignon grapes picked when nice and ripe, fermented in new and used barriques with indigenous yeasts and matured on the lees for 12 months. The wine has a medium, straw-yellow color with mustard reflections with a bouquet that opens on notes of oak followed by distinct aromas of toasted sesame, cookie, mango, tea with lemon, ripe pear and tarragon, all “wrapped” with a touch of coffee powder. The mouthfeel is quite rich and rounded with a sensation of ripe fruit (malolactic fermentation accented the 3.5g/l sugar content) counterbalanced by a distinct and typically green acidity. Everything is extremely clean without caricatural effects. The finish has cookie, toasted and tropical sensations all made pleasingly dry by the alcohol. Good for the next 6-8 years. Imported by Pellegrini.
