The Sacrilege series allows our winemaking team a creative space to explore new possibilities and ideas. Tradition is thrown out the door in the name of experimentation and learning. So, we introduce, Sacrilege White 2023. This wine is composed of 64% Sauvignon Blanc that was soaked on its skins for 24 hours before being pressed and then fermented in foudre. The remaining 36% is composed of Cabernet Franc which was gently whole bunch pressed and fermented in older barrels as a “blancs de noir”. Both wines underwent malolactic fermentation to soften the acidity and were left on their ferment lees for 4-5 months before being blended. The palate has notes of yellow citrus fruit, gooseberry, lemongrass, lemon curd texture, with a crisp saline finish. This is a beguiling wine has many layers and will benefit from some bottle age to fully express itself.
