Prima Alba 2024

Sauvignon Blanc (100%)

13.0% Alc

Production: 1936 bottles (screw cap)

Prima Alba, meaning ‘First Sunrise’ in Italian. This third release of this wine sees the first harvest from our estate vineyard nestled along the Calgardup Brook. Hand harvested fruit, gentle whole bunch basket pressing, wild fermented in old French oak barriques with 3 months on light yeast lees and 9 months in barrels in total leads to a unique expression of this variety.

A bone dry-medium weight with lifted tropical aromas with a slice of herbaceousness around the edge, fresh mineral acidity and a hint of texture to balance the palate. This wine treads an intriguing line between light delicacy and profound complexity and is bottles unfined and unfiltered and a harmless sediment may remain. 

Salutè
