Invivo X, Sarah Jessica Parker Sauvignon Blanc 2020
New Zealand, Marlborough
Sauvignon Blanc
Description
Sarah Jessica has pushed the style a little further this year, for a softer wine with more oak influence. For an increased oak touch, we used new French barriques and hogsheads and non-barrel blonde oak products. We employed more pre-fermentation maceration than in 2019. We were after an elevated phenolic structure with a hint of savory toast, but to be balanced we needed a great deal of weight and flesh among the structure. The vineyards provided this in abundance and with the addition of some extra solids during ferment, helped maximise the textural element.
