2020 Savagnin
$40.00 – $480.00
Savagnin is a rare grape originating from the Jura region in France. This makes Space Girls the perfect partner for The Stars Baby, The Stars… our beautiful Trousseau, also a Jura native. Not to be confused with Sauvignon Blanc, she’s pretty, yet spicy. Voluptuous with just the right amount of citrus tang.
Description
‘Space girls’
You get a real maritime feel when you smell good Savagnin – all coastal heath and salty seaside air.
The hand-picked fruit was held on skins for four hours before pressing to aged French barriques to begin wild fermentation. The wine remained on lees for 6 months prior to bottling in September, unfined, unfiltered.
Salty, briny, misty, floral, magical. This smells of a springtime coast, wildflower aromas, sagebush, smokebush, and then you get the lemony citrus filtering through.
Limey lanolin in the mouth – yes, its creamy but the tight minerally acidity speaks of fresh lime juice in a gin & tonic. At once savoury and sweet: kiwifruit, finger lime, lemon curd.
