Description
62% Sauvignon blanc, 28% Semillon, 10% Muscadelle The cool season of 2020 has produced one of the most aromatic and fruit intense Triolets in recent memory. Whilst it is somewhat atypical of the Triolet style, it is not an intended departure in our winemaking traditions; more a function of the season and the resultant flavours that developed on the vine. This wine spent an additional 6 months in oak (18 months in total) to tame the primary fruit expression and build a little more secondary complexity. The nose opens with passionfruit, guava and a hint of pineapple. There is an attack of flavour on the palate leading again with passionfruit, some lemon/lime influences and nashi pear. The phenolics are long, soft and exceptionally well integrated for a wine so young. This could prove to be a Triolet for the ages for those patient enough to let it rest in the cellar for the next 10-15 years.
