Brightwater Vineyards Lord Rutherford Barrique Fermented Sauvignon Blanc 2016

Taste & Other Notes

A wonderful rich mouthfeel, firm vanilla notes upfront before evolving into beautifully complex tropical fruit in the mid palate. The finish is long and fresh with beautifully ripe acidity.

This is a delightfully complex expression of Sauvignon Blanc, beautifully clean winemaking lets the fruit shine while the barrel fermentation softens the acidity and adds complexity to the palate without compromising the characters we love in Sauvignon Blanc.
