Domaine Naturaliste Sauvage Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Tasting Notes

🔷 Colour – Pale straw with vibrant green hues.

🔷 Aromas – Passionfruit, red currant & orange blossom, with lychee and clove adding complexity.

🔷 Palate – Rich fruit flavours of passionfruit, lime, and blackcurrant, with creamy oak and subtle spice.

🔷 Finish – Crisp, with a flinty minerality and a clean, refreshing end.

Food Pairings

🔷 Pan-Seared Fish – Perfect with barramundi or snapper, its acidity balances the richness of the fish.

🔷 Roasted Chicken – Pairs beautifully with simple roasted chicken, elevating its flavours.

🔷 Soft Cheeses – A great match for creamy cheeses like brie or camembert.

🔷 Herb-Laden Dishes – Try it with lemon thyme chicken or herb-infused vegetable risotto.

Awards

94pts Ray Jordan “This is a wine that is so well balanced and crafted that it drinks beautifully now, but with that quality fruit and that well-weighted oak, it will handle extended cellaring to become something quite different. Intense, vibrant, with a fine precise acidity driving through to a long finish.”

94pts Winefront “Well balanced oak seasoning comes as cashew cream and a note of vanilla slice. The elegant line of perfume is built around herbs like oregano and thyme, mint, lemon blossom, blackcurrant leaf and a touch of pineapple skin aroma. The finish is long, aromatic and pithy like pink grapefruit, with crushed oyster shells and a gently rising warming sensation of pickled ginger. Complex wine and pretty well put together.” Kasia Sobiesiak.

Crafted with minimal intervention, this Sauvignon Blanc is aged in French oak puncheons, adding texture and complexity while preserving fresh fruit character.

Storage & Serving Tips

🔷 Best Serving Temperature – 10–12°C to highlight freshness and complexity.

🔷 Storage – Best enjoyed in its youth, though it will evolve beautifully over the next 5 years.

🔷 Decanting – Not necessary, but allows for aromas to open up more fully.

FAQ

❓ What are puncheons?
Puncheons are larger oak barrels (500L) that impart subtle oak influence while preserving the fruit’s freshness.

❓ What does ‘lees contact’ mean?
Lees contact (sur lie) adds texture & richness to the wine, as the yeast cells break down and contribute flavours.

French oak brings complexity, with notes of spice, vanilla & nuttiness, helping to create the wine’s unique character.

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
