Tasting notes
The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Alsana is a blend of 75% Sauvignon Blanc (barrel fermented in French oak) and 25% Sémillon (fermented in stainless steel drums). Winemaker Nigel Kinsman says the math works out to about 25% new wood overall. Scents of lemon curd are joined by some riper fig and stone fruit, plus a hint of anise on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is plump and generous, then finishes long, citrusy and silky.

Sauvignon Blanc with 25% Sémillon. Whole-cluster pressed and then settled. Racked to oak barrels (18% new) for fermentation and ageing. Aged for eight months before bottling. 332 cases made. Smells of green apple and kiwi fruit. Vibrant flavours of green apple, kiwi and faint herbal tones mix with lime zest and lime juice. Excellent acidity and a faint, chalky minerality. (AY)
