The Supernatural Sauvignon Blanc / 2022 / 75cl

"The Supernatural 2022 is a direct continuation, still from the same vineyard and made in essentially the same way but without bentonite. This is a more transparent expression and a smaller production, of course. six hours on skins, wild-fermentation with no sulphur except a minimal 20ppm dose at bottling to help it travel. The wine is at once softer in fruit expression (lees-stirred every new moon for eight months while ageing in tank) but also very reflective of the vintage with its crunchy, green- fruit notes rather than more typical tropical profile. Whilst less powerful and with less cellaring potential than usual for this wine, it is refreshingly and surprisingly salty on the finish where the phenolics, high acidity and minerality converge into a crystalline and delicately etched finish. Chromatically (if your palate works that way), the fruit profile this year is more white-green than its usual yellow-gold." - STEPHEN WONG, MW
