Peacock Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc 2025 Description
A vibrant white wine delivering crisp, aromatic complexity. Expect bright citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit, layered with herbaceous undertones and a subtle floral character. The wild fermentation brings textural depth with a creamy mid-palate and mineral finish, creating wonderful balance between freshness and richness.
On the palate, grassy and tropical fruit notes emerge - think passionfruit and guava - alongside delicate stone fruit hints of peach and apricot. A whisper of white flowers and fresh-cut grass adds intrigue, while the wild yeast fermentation contributes subtle brioche and almond nuances that develop complexity without overwhelming the wine's natural acidity.
The natural fermentation process introduces a distinctive saline quality and chalky minerality on the finish, elevating this beyond a typical Sauvignon Blanc. The creamy texture contrasts beautifully with the wine's zesty backbone, revealing layers that unfold with each sip.
A compelling expression showcasing the magic of spontaneous fermentation in a contemporary white wine.
Best enjoyed chilled as an aperitif or with barbecued white fish, try sea bass with fresh root ginger, or gently spiced Thai dishes.
