Tasting notes
The 2013 Lillie, 100% Sauvignon Blanc, is wonderfully floral and mineral. White peach, flowers, mint and crushed rocks emerge from a wine with more than a passing resemblance to the great Graves whites. The persistent, textured finish proves to be absolutely irresistible.

A small amount of white wine is made and the current offering is the 2013 Sauvignon Blanc Lillie. Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc (433 cases produced) and aged eight months in 15% new French oak and the rest in neutral wood and larger foudres, it exhibits lots of honeysuckle, melon, caramelized citrus and grapefruit. This fragrant, fresh, light to medium-bodied, delicious white has lots of character. Ten percent of the Sauvignon Blanc is the Musqué Clone, which gives the wine a more exotic character. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.
