Lismore Barrel Fermented Sauvignon

Note:

The 2017 Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc was matured 75% in 500 liter barrels and 25% in concrete eggs. This has a more vivacious and slightly more fruit driven bouquet of yellow plum and light nectarine notes, complemented by touches of crushed stone and gooseberry. Perhaps one of the finest Sauvignon Blanc aromatics I have encountered this vintage. The palate is well balanced with gorgeous orange peel, light black currant and gooseberry notes, just about perfect acidity and a very precise, long finish. It is an outstanding follow up to the 2016, perhaps even better.
