mehrere Informationen

The Savage White fires up the senses with rich and expressive aromatics of grapefruit jam, peach tea, green apple pastilles and delicate hints of chamomile, honey and pineapple. In the mouth, the wine rolls across the palate with an impressively dense fruit-glycerin weight, along with an immensely delicious acidity. The wine spent 10 months in oak barrels, which gives an extremely attractive, yet subtle, hint of candied tangerine and vanilla bean, as well as a waxy, fluid minerality on the finish.

Treatment in the cellar

Savage White is a top cuvée of 69% Sauvignon Blanc and 31% Semillon. The grapes were whole bunch pressed and fermented spontaneously in barrel. "Spontaneous" means that no commercial yeasts were added to the wine and only the naturally occurring yeast on the fruit and in the environment set the fermentation in motion. Once fermentation was complete, the Sauvignon Blanc was blended with the portion of Semillon that had previously completed malolactic fermentation. Finally, the wine was aged for another 10 months in barrel (20% new wood) and was then bottled.
