Sorrell Auntsfield Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Sorrell Wines is a boutique Marlborough label founded by Daniel Sorrell in 2021, after a decade working vintages across France, the US, Australia, and New Zealand.
Dan’s focus is on organic, single-vineyard wines - Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir - from some of Marlborough’s most expressive sub-regions. These are thoughtful, finely tuned wines made in small batches, with a clear respect for both the land and the people farming it.

He believes terroir and exceptional viticulture are crucial to the craft of winemaking, and he’s chosen to work with what he regards as “exceptional vineyards” and growers in Auntsfield, The Wrekin, and Churton - each with very individual characteristics, which he strives to reflect in the wines. “I want to showcase the vineyards and fruit purity” he says, “connecting the wine back to the land it came from”.

The fruit was hand-picked from ‘Auntsfield’ vineyard' and gently whole bunch pressed. After two days of fermentation the wine was cooled and transferred to French oak and left to ferment at warmer temperatures. After 4 months the wine was transferred into concrete egg. This wine matured on fine less for 16 months before bending and bottling.
