Once again, Spottswoode delivers all I can ask for in Sauvignon Blanc thanks to the multi-faceted fermentation and aging methodology of winemaker Aron Weinkauf. Year after year he gets this wine to a level of complexity that is second to none. There’s more nuance here than you can imagine. It is not akin to textbook regional styles from anywhere — it stands unique. Give it a spin. You won’t regret it. Contains 4% Semillion.
