The Story
The Norton Barrel Select Sauvignon Blanc is a fragrant, medium-bodied white wine that offers a sophisticated alternative to the classic unaged style of this variety. Unlike most entry-level Sauvignon Blancs, a portion of this wine is partially fermented and aged in French oak barrels. This technique creates a delicate balance between the grape's natural freshness and the creamy, smoky influences of the wood. The wine presents a greenish-yellow colour with golden hues and a complex aromatic profile of green apples, guava, and passion fruit, accented by subtle notes of vanilla, coconut, and toasted bread.
