Richly textured pink grapefruit citrus salty ocean tang lingering finish salty cracker. Feels silky and deeply textured great quality white fruits ripe spiced quince and pear. A hot vintage means you'll find less Sauvignon Blanc thiols on display in their place a soft and a lingering grip on the finish. 100% fermented and aged in barrels 30% new oak along with larger 320- and 600- litre tonneaux and cigar shaped casks.

The 2022 Ornellaia is a touch more straw/yellow-hued in the glass and is 100% Sauvignon Blanc from Bellaria Vineyard, Made from two or three different plots of the vineyard, it is raised in barriques, with 20% new oak. The nose has more minerality, with aromas of wet stones, delicate flint, riper tropical fresh peaches, delicate, sweet tropical flowers, and a kiss of vanilla. It has lovely extract and a silky, rounded texture on the palate as well as balanced ripeness and a long finish. It’s going to improve over the next 8-10 years.
