White

The first vintage of a new dry white from Suduiraut made from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc vines that have an average age of 45 years, specifically identified to reveal the elegance and concentration of these two grape varieties. Extremely expressive and aromatic on the nose, fragrant with frangipane, vanilla, caramel, hibiscus, pineapple, green apple, elderflower, toast, pear and white flowers. Rich yet clean, a gorgeous dose of bitter lemon with crunchy fresh pears and toasted elements on the palate giving a bitter sharpness, with orange rind alongside apple and lime. Gourmet and round, lovely intensity and weight with minerality on the finish, a salinity that leaves the lasting impression. Needs some time to round but there's energy and precision with both grapes speaking clearly.  I love the hint of Sauternes in the mouthwatering orange citrus element on the finish which is remarkable considering there’s no residual sugar in this. Shows the potential for dry whites in the appellation.
