Du même producteur

Fermenté entièrement avec des levures naturelles, ce sauvignon blanc néo-zélandais présente un style différent, qui est à la fois complexe et riche en textures.

Une combinaison offrant des arômes de pâtisserie et d’herbes fraîches - le doux parfum meringue de citron et d'abricot semblent se fondre des notes de plantes comme l’estragon et un soupçon de fumé.

La bouche est succulente et emballés avec des fruits à noyau et de vanille, accompagnée d’une finition fraiche et longue.

James Suckling (JS) : 94 Points (2016)

This has all the complexity seen in great white wines with plenty of savory influence. Grilled nuts adorn biscuity and flinty lemon and grapefruit pith. The palate has punchy dried-peach and lemon flavors, as well as an appealing, very succulent and carefully layered texture. (10/2018)

Wine Spectator (WS) : 93 Points (2016)

Just gorgeous, this is vibrant, fragrant and generous, with honeysuckle, Key lime, lemongrass and fresh ginger notes that mingle with grapefruit and pear flavors. Impressive for the intensity, showing a smooth body, refreshing acidity and long, lingering finish. Drink now. 700 cases imported. (MW) (10/2018)

Kevin Judd's 2016 Wild Sauvignon features toasty accents to it layers of ripe nectarine and pineapple. It's medium-bodied, reasonably rich and textured on the palate, then it weakens a bit on the finish. Stronger vintages can age up to a decade or more, but I'd suggest drinking this by 2023.

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 90 Points (2016)

Ex-Cloudy Bay winemaker Kevin Judd's wines are never shy and never boring. This wine is an opulent Sauvignon, quite the opposite of the Marlborough style most are familiar with. Wild fermented in oak barrels, it's a heady combo of lemon, toast, salted cashew and wild herb. The full-bodied palate is highly textural but not heavy thanks to a good lick of acidity. Herbs, lemon rind and toasty oak ripple right through the finish.

Bob Campbell MW (BC) : 95 Points (2015)

Pure, flinty wine in a bone-dry style with citrus and subtle stone fruit flavours. Nice purity with bright acidity helping drive a lengthy finish. Good weight and a suede-like texture. Impressive. Tasted in a vertical back to 2009.

Vinous (Antonio Galloni) (VN) : 91 Points (2015)

The 2015 Wild Sauvignon has an intense bouquet with gooseberry, Conference pear, smoke and light fish oil aromas. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity. It is not as powerful as the aromatics suggest, though there is a lovely tang of spice lingering on the bell pepper finish. Excellent. (NM) (11/2018)
