Empire of Dirt Sauvignon Blanc 2019
Yarra Valley, Victoria, AustraliaEmpire of Dirt is a collab between Ben Henshaw, a leading UK importer, and Rivar Mayer, low-interventionist legend Timo Mayer’s son. Rivar has learned from working vintage with his father in the Yarra, and this savvy comes from a vineyard next to Timo's Bloody Hill Vineyard. This was whole bunch pressed (partial skin contact) before a ferment and rest in old hogshead barrels. Sprightly tangerine, lemon pith rule a lengthy, finely textured palate, to a lingering vibrating, highly saline sauvy finish.Tasted: 13 November 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| Australia | $25.00 | 750ml | estimated retail |
