Solitary | Wild Fermented, Sauvignon Blanc 2021

The Vibe

Structure meets freshness in this textured, wild-fermented Sauvignon Blanc from granite-rooted vines. Granite and flint lead the nose with grapefruit, white pear and citrus layered in behind. On the palate it's all lively acid, creamy texture and a long, lingering finish that keeps you reaching for another sip. Half fermented wild in stainless steel, half in old French oak — the blend of both techniques gives this wine its distinctive depth and energy.
