Sommelier’s Note
Elena M.
· Wine Expert

This Sauvignon Blanc from Pizzorno Family Estates is a striking expression of craftsmanship and character — unusually deep and structured for the varietal. A full 12 months of ageing in American oak has added notable texture and aromatic complexity, giving the wine a richer, more layered personality while preserving its natural freshness.

Expect an elegant interplay between ripe fruit, subtle spice, and a gentle creamy roundness. The oak ageing brings sophistication without overwhelming the grape’s inherent vibrancy. On the palate, this wine shows both volume and balance, supported by polished tannins and a pleasantly persistent finish. A refined, oak-kissed Sauvignon Blanc that stands apart from typical interpretations of the varietal.

Tasting Notes

Color

Bright, luminous straw with subtle golden reflections — a sign of oak ageing and bottle maturity.

Aroma

Expressive and complex. Notes of forest fruits and gentle cigar-box nuances blend with delicate spice from the American oak. A unique aromatic profile for Sauvignon Blanc, blending freshness with warm, toasty undertones.

Palate

Round, ripe, and structured. The oak ageing provides volume and a smooth, polished texture. Balanced acidity lifts the wine, while subtle tannins create an elegant tension. Persistent flavours of fruit, spice, and gentle smokiness linger on the finish.

Overall

A distinctive, barrel-aged Sauvignon Blanc with unexpected depth and character. Ideal for those who appreciate a richer, more gastronomic expression of the varietal — particularly well suited to roasted meats and aged cheeses.

Storage & Cellaring

Long-Term Storage (Unopened)

To preserve the wine’s structure and aromatic complexity, follow these storage recommendations:

  • Keep bottles in a cool, dark place, protected from direct sunlight and vibration.
  • Ideal cellaring temperature: 12–18°C (55–64°F) with stable conditions.
  • Store bottles horizontally to keep the cork hydrated and prevent oxidation.
  • Properly stored, this Tannat can evolve gracefully for 5–8 years due to its tannin structure and oak aging.

After Opening

  • Re-cork tightly and store upright to minimize oxygen contact.
  • Keep in a cool environment (wine fridge recommended).
  • Best enjoyed within 4–6 days for ideal freshness.
    (If vacuum-sealed or preserved with inert gas, it may last slightly longer.)

Serving Tip

  • For best expression, decant 30–60 minutes before drinking to soften tannins and open aromatics.
