Metier by Delille Cellars Sauvignon Blanc

An approachable take on Delille's Chaleur Blanc with 100% Sauvignon, only 8% oak, but it spends plenty of time on lees, giving this wine a rich opulence and gorgeous texture. Honeyed and wild flower aromatics, with a dash of dried herbs. Poached pear flavours, nutmeg and ripe lemon curd.

The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc punches well above expectation, as a whiff of chalk dust and crushed rocks gives way to pineapple, mint leaf and an enriching note of almond paste. This is juicy to the core, with a combination of zesty acidity and mineral tones adding tremendous complexity to its central citrus-laced orchard fruits. The 2023 lingers long yet maintains amazing freshness, as a gentle tension keeps the mouth watering and hints of lime and kiwi fade. I would drink this any day of the week.

The 2023 Métier Sauvignon Blanc has gregarious aromas of white peach, lemongrass, citrus blossoms and bread dough. The medium-bodied palate balances layered, perfumed flavors with mouthwatering acidity, and it has a long, flavorful finish. 8,275 cases produced.
