product description
Rippon Sauvignon Blanc 2021
Reviews
Cameron Douglas MS: 93/100. Varietal, mineral, quietly expressive within the bouquet and naturally varietal with scents of fresh herbs and some wild spices, white fleshed fruits and citrus highlights. Taut, dry, youthful and very engaging on the palate. Flavours on the palate mirror the bouquet with citrus and fresh herbs, there’s plenty of fruit spice and a back bone of acidity. Delicious, fresh, not a mainstream style - thank goodness, very taut and new - a wine that will age and develop over the next few years. Best drinking should be from 2025 through 2030+.
James Suckling (JamesSuckling.com): 92/100. Subtle aromas of lemon curd and melon with some crushed stone. Medium-bodied with very tangy acidity and a sliced ripe lemon and light green mango. Density with freshness. Drink now.
Tasting note
A beautifully styled sauvignon offering vibrancy as well as refinement; the fragrant bouquet shows rhubarb, nectarine, citrus, green apple details and light herbal notes, leading to an elegantly weighted palate that is finely textured and persistent.

Winemaking:
Picked by hand into small, 10kg cases allowing the fruit to arrive at the winery's sorting table undamaged and intact. It is then whole cluster pressed over 4 hours and run, by gravity, into a settling tank. 12 hours of settling is passed after which the juice is racked, retaining fine lees, and run separately into seasoned/neutral French oak barrels (46% of total) and a fermentation tank (stainless-steel foudre).
The winery's resident yeast population (non-inoculated) started fermenting on day 1, with a temperature between 14-26ºC over 10 days. Both tank and barrel components were racked, blended, cold stabilised and filtered before bottling. Total days on lees: 47 (thrice weekly battonage).
