This 2012 Sauvignon Blanc has held up extraordinarily well. There will likely be bottle variation, so check yours against my notes here. In my glass, the wine’s colour belies its age, showing a luminous lemon-gold hue with no signs of oxidation. On the palate, the wine is creamy, with subtle notes of vanilla and slivered almonds, vivid sea spray aromatics, and dried apricots and salted lemon peel on the fragrant finish, alongside notes of beeswax and chamomile. Just lovely, and still very acid-bright. What a great thing if you can get your hands on some. Tasted in early 2026.
