Neudorf, Sauvignon Blanc, Nelson, New Zealand, 2017

From the alluvial plains in Nelson, one-fifth of this Sauvignon Blanc was fermented in barrel and two-thirds underwent wild fermentation. The result is Sauvignon Blanc with the volume turned down: ripe pear and apple fruit aromas combine with a subtle, grassy high note. It's round and gentle with good concentration and a focussed core, followed by some juicy acidity on the conclusion.
