The Hunting Lodge

The Hunting Lodge Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc 2017 Waimauku Auckland

Great bouquet of SB with aromas and flavours of wild flowers, lees and citrus fruits, barrel fermentation is overt with a sweet sweat-note, mild toasty quality and a mix of yellow stone fruit and grape fruit. Some herbal grassy-like notes and overall medium complexity. Just dry on the palate with flavours that mirror the nose - grapefruit, lemon then apple and sweet hay. plenty of acidity, a light-ish creamy texture and deeper flavours from the lees and barrel ferment reactions. Balanced and well made. Drink now and through 2022.
