Our first concrete egg fermentation and élevage and what would set us on a quest to produce the most distinctive Sauvignon Blanc we could possibly imagine. Richer, rounder and more concentrated, this debut Reserve bottling changed everything about the way we looked at making wine. Ripe and dried orchard fruits dance throughout the nose and palate on this incredible mature expression of Sauvignon. Apricot pit, poached pear, dehydrated peach and an almost smokey German chamomile. From oysters to roasted chicken and vegetables, this wine will be sure to compliment and elevate your experiences. Upon revisiting this wine our hearts were instantly warmed, and it simply cannot be missed.
The 2020 vintage came on the heels of a 3 year drought period, during which we utilized deficit irrigation techniques to drive the roots down into the ancient riverbed that Grimms Bluff now sits above. The results of our efforts show beautifully in the 2020 Reserve Sauvignon Blanc, a true expression of the vineyards distinct terroir; slate minerality and crisp cleanliness abound in this bright and refreshing vintage. Grapes are whole cluster pressed, fermented cold and aged 9 months in concrete eggs.
