The 2009 is a blend of 93% Sauvignon Blanc and 7% Sémillon, aged for 11 months in new and used 225L French barriques and concrete egg. This marks the first vintage employing concrete eggs in fermentation. At 15 years of age, the wine is remarkably elegant and vibrant, with gorgeous chamomile tea and lemon verbena aromas, framed by fabulous salty minerality and epic concentration. The winemaking at Arkenstone focuses on long, cold fermentations with native yeasts and ageing on lees to preserve freshness and texture, incorporating Sémillon after the first racking and fermenting partially in concrete eggs and barrels.
