2015 TWR Single-Vineyard 5182 Sauvignon Blanc
TWR
This is Anna & Jason Flowerday's inaugural Sauvignon Blanc release under their SV 5182 designation. It is the culmination of a five-year project they've been pursuing from their biodynamically farmed home block. The majority of the hand-picked and hand-sorted fruit is fermented in large, old French oak demi-muids, and all parcels spend a good while on fine lees post ferment. It has purity, yet with detail and fleshiness. On the nose and palate you'll find notes of ripe tropical notes with stone fruits, basil and lime, with a lovely line of ripe minerality and juicy acidity.

Vibrant perfume shows sweet citrus, blackcurrant, faint green herb and a waft of almond. There’s more of those things in the flavour profile, it’s surprisingly tight, though the almond-nuttiness is more pronounced here and layers in more character. Quite powerful too, though you’d also say, surprisingly, restrained. Nicely done.

A benchmark for barrel-fermented Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. This gathers subtle aromatic and palate complexity and takes nothing away from the strong, pure lime and green passion fruit that underpins the wine. Striking purity. Drink now.

A rich, textural sauvignon blanc, with extra weight and complexity achieved by barrel-fermenting 75% of
the juice. Capsicum, melon and passionfruit flavours, with a seasoning of nutty oak and yeast lees
character and a subtle struck flint reductive character.
