Mayhem Small Lot Sauvignon Blanc 2021
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis Sauvy is sourced from Waskiewich Vineyard on the Naramata Bench. After a whole-bunch press, it was held on lees for six months, starting with a stainless fermentation before transferring to 13% new French barriques and 87% older puncheons. The treatment has created ample textures in this youthful wine, with tangerine, passionfruit, pithy white grapefruit, crunchy Asian pear imbued with anise, scrubby sage, and subtle toasty spice. In a Marlborough way, but distinctly BC, enjoy this punchy, characterful SB this summer.Tasted: 26 May 2022Tasted by: Prices:BC | $15.65 | 750ml | winery online, select private retailers |
