SPOKE 'Resolute'

Aroma

This wine shows dramatic funk and citrus notes with underlying exotic fruits and floral notes.

Palate

The extended time on the natural lees gives an unexpected texture and deliciously nutty character. A full-bodied style of Sauvignon Blanc with a dried herbal edge, vibrant acidity and a long, persistent finish.

Winemaking

Hand harvested, whole bunch pressed to get relatively clean juice straight away, that has little time to oxidise as the skins have not been broken prior to crushing. Wild yeast ferment for ten months in oak (5% new).
