Flowstone Queen of The Earth Sauvignon Blanc

Hand picked in a day from the southern Karridale vineyard, fermentation in one 600L demi-muid. Post-ferment maturation in the same vessel for 15 months, occasionally stirred. 12 months further in bottle prior to release. This is sensational. Serious layers of flavour and texture on the palate show a reverence for the variety by Stuart Pym. Long, lean and lithe; this shares guava, lychee, red apple skins, white stone fruit, exotic spice and a distinct oriental leaning of anise and pink peppercorn - 97pts - Halliday Wine Companion
