2022 PRIMA ALBA
Sauvignon Blanc (100%)
Prima Alba, meaning ‘First Sunrise’ in Italian. This wine marks a new beginning for Mr Barval. A re-imagining of a Margaret River white varietal classic of Sauvignon Blanc, but not as you would know it. Hand harvested fruit, gentle whole bunch pressing, wild fermented in old French oak barriques with 5 months on light yeast lees.
A bone dry, medium/light weight wine displaying crisp lime acidity, abundant tropical fruit notes, with mouth coating texture. This new wine for us treads an intriguing line between light delicacy and profound complexity. This wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered and a harmless sediment may remain.
