This wine holds the distinction of being the highest-priced and most acclaimed Sauvignon Blanc in CWG Auction history and regularly earns 5-star ratings from Platter’s and 95+ scores from Tim Atkin MW.
Tasting Notes: A symphony of soft oak and exceptional Sauvignon flavours, focussed with superb intensity. Really excellent wine with great agreeability. Fresher than Pessac-Léognan, promising years of drinking pleasure.
If you can put away some bottles for a couple of years, you can delay the pleasure and have it back with interest for anything up to 10 years after harvest.
