2023 Blanc
Ben’s blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc. A little different every year.
Wild ferment, stainless steel
12.5ish% alc/vol
Let's face it, white wines aren't actually white, unless someone has put peroxide in it or something. They are more pale yellow, green-ish and sometimes darker. Blanc’s deeper straw tinge is a natural legacy of the grapes’ colour. We could make it lighter and brighter using a chemical addition or two...yeah nah.
Zippy and fresh – this smells like citrus groves after a summer storm. Lemon balm, lime zest, passionfruit vine. A breezy herbaceous note and just beneath that? A little coastal minerality, whispering “Margaret River, baby.”
The wild ferment gives texture without weight – like linen sheets, not velvet robes. Crunchy green apple, lime juice and a core of peach and honeydew. It’s clean and damn refreshing. No oak, no skins, no drama.
Drink it with oysters, Vietnamese salads, grilled zucchini, or hot chips by the beach. It’s the kind of wine you want with anything salty, fresh, or vaguely sun-kissed.
Ingredients: organic grapes and a whisper of sulphur to keep it fresh and stable
