Winemaker James Lienert was responsible for this wine - Jimi's Ferment it was creatively named. He's a good fella too. I've been fortunate to spend some time with him chewing the fat at the Coonawarra Vignerons Cup a couple of years ago. I digress. This is a white wine handled like a red wine without the skins and it's delicious.
Lots of fresh Sauvignon Blanc characters announce themselves but the creamy drive and texture factor rolls in to add some class. Green capsicum, pineapple husk, green melon and pineapple sage are the main players. A slash of gooseberry late with a finish caressed by vanilla oak and fine spices. That texture hangs long and keeps my interest in the game. A really enjoyable wine.
Drink to three years.
