The Hermit Ram, Skin Fermented Sauvignon Blanc

Not your average New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc! Theo is looking for fresh acidity and a distinctly savory side to this wine, which has four weeks on the skins. Grapes are soured from a bio-certified vineyard in North Canterbury, on gravel and limestone soil. A touch of pickled pepper on the nose, with bay leaf and sage underneath the pineapple and lemon oil on the palate. Bottled under crowncap but completely still, no fining or filtration, no SO2.
