Get to know: Wild & Wilder, Tabula Rasa V18 WHITE (50cl)

Tasting Note

A fun, zesty, fruit forward field blend with a touch of skin contact. Primarily Semillon but with Sauvignon blanc, Arneis and Petot Manseng in the mix too there's lots of quince, lemon citrus and elderflower with a hint of almonds on the finish. 

Wild & Wilder are are all about great fruit, grown by good people made with a lot of love and fun. Described by Jancis Robinson as '#smashable'

Designed to be enjoyed casually with friends, perhaps at the beach or park, the smaller format and crown cap make it super accessible. 

Producer Info

All four varieties that make up #V18W comes from the same, sngle vineyard close to our winery in Lenswood, Adelaide Hills. A close planted, premium vineyard perfectly set up for cool climate viticulture. Vertical shoot positioning on a 2 wire system, shoot and fruit thinnning where necessary followed by hand picking for careful selection.

A complex vinification in order to make a deliciously simple wine. Both the Sauvignon and Semillon are given 24 hours skin contact before crushing, pressing, settling and cool, fermentation. The Arneis and Petit Manseng were hand-picked, foot crushed, drained and added to the larger ferment which prolonged the ferment and added complexity and texture. Post primary fermentation, the wine was racked off gross lees before spending 2 months on fine lees prior to bottling.
