Muse

Sauvignon 2012

The Muse Sauvignon 2012 charms with a golden, light honey hue with lifted passionfruit, tropical fruits, and nutty sesame notes on the nose. The palate is complex — buttery oak, green papaya, honey, lemongrass, and subtle umami combine with soft, balanced acidity. Tropical and citrus flavours are threaded through a gentle creaminess.

Winemaker Notes

As with previous releases, as this wine was made to sit somewhere in-between a typical Sauvignon blanc and a Fumé blanc it is simply called Sauvignon. Much effort was placed into making a wine that was interesting, funky and complex while remaining approachable. The wine is a blend of numerous batches of stainless steel fermented and barrel fermented wines. With a better growing season in 2012 compared to the risks of 2011, this wine has returned to a high percentage of wild yeast fermentations.
