Mayhem Small Lot Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Mayhem ethos is fun, and this sauvignon delivers. The fruit is Naramata, and the secret is six months' lees time to build a bit of weight and texture, and 87 percent older puncheons to offset the remaining new oak barriques it is aged in. Expect a refreshing mix of passionfruit and grapefruit streaked with an orange tone and sagebrush. Treve gets it right: in a Marlborough way, but distinctly BC. Drink all summer.Tasted: 04 May 2022Tasted by: Prices:
