Description
Darling Cellars Hannuwa Amphora Sauvignon Blanc is a beautiful wine with lifted aromas of fresh winter melon, and gun flint on the nose. The palate is textured with blue berries, green figs and ripe asparagus combining for a beautiful lingering aftertaste.
The San people were the indigenous tribe that first walked the hills of Darling. Hannuwa is the San word suggesting the gathering of good fortune through living in sustainable harmony with nature. Unfiltered and unrefined, this is as true to nature as can be.
Grapes are hand harvested early in the morning. After destemming, berries and juice are left for 24 hours skin contact at 6°C. The free run juice is left for 24 hours to settle. Clear juice is racked into the Amphora for fermentation. Once fermentation is finished, the wine is aged for another 8 months on the lees. The yeast autolysis, together with the unique shape and ceramic nature of the Amphora, contribute to this special wine.
Food pairing: This wine will pair well with oysters, goat’s cheese and vegetarian tarts.
Alcohol: 13.59% ABV
