Staff Pick ~ Certified Organic! We are so excited about Deep Down from New Zealand. These are organic, small batch, wild fermented, single vineyard wines crafted with honesty and low sulfites. A wine of place and transparency, the Sauvignon Blanc is pure, dry and utterly delicious! By ‘turning the volume down’ from the typical style of Marlborough, you can taste the meyer lemon, ripe pear and salty mineral flavors. Old vines and silty soils, rather than gravels, give even more complexity. Serve as an aperitif or with your favorite seafood dishes.
Vinous
- v90
The second vintage of this new label, co-founded by Clive Dougall, formerly of Seresin, this mellow Sauvignon builds on its promising initial effort. Sourced from organic vineyards, about 1/3 of the wine was fermented in used puncheons and this provides a sense of roundness and relaxation to what can sometimes be an uptight variety. You can expect a fine floral scent, reminiscent of violets and honeysuckle allied with apple skin. The finish is more refined compared with the debut release, offering precision and direction on the medium-length, chalky finish.
