LITTLE BEAUTY Sauvignon Blanc 'Black Edition Wild Ferment - Marlborough 2019/23 Bottle/nc

Description

The 2023 Black Edition is a fascinating departure from the classic Marlborough style, showcasing the more experimental and artisanal side of Little Beauty. This wine is fermented using only "wild" indigenous yeasts and is aged in French oak, resulting in a Sauvignon Blanc with incredible depth and a completely different personality.

On the nose, it moves beyond simple fruit to offer complex layers of lemon curd, toasted nuts, and a distinctive smoky mineral edge. The palate is rich and textured with a creamy weight that is perfectly balanced by a zesty, persistent acidity. It is a sophisticated and highly accomplished white that prioritises character and complexity, making it an excellent choice for those looking for a more serious and food friendly expression of the grape.
