A rare, barrel-fermented style of Sauvignon Blanc that shows just how far this variety can go when it's given time. Made from fruit grown on URLAR's certified organic, vegan-friendly vineyard in Gladstone, Wairarapa and fermented in seasoned French oak barrels, this wine spent 10 months aging on its lees before a barrel-by-barrel tasting confirmed its place in the Heaven's Selection range. The result is a rich, textured white a world away from the crisp, youthful Sauvignon Blanc most people expect.

Aroma

Custard apple and ripe citrus, layered with complex, nutty notes from extended lees ageing and time in bottle.

Tastes

Deliciously rich, with intense pithy lemon cut through by a saline edge. Stone fruit and honey bring sweetness, balanced by a nutty almond character - complex and long. Cellar it for up to 15 years, or share it now over a relaxed roast chicken dinner with family.
