Vintage 2023

The 2023 vintage is widely reported to have been the most difficult and challenging in at least the past 20 years.

Written Notes

Ribbon Vale Elsa 2023 ($78) – This is a wine which takes us into a different realm of Sauvignon Blanc, with whole bunch pressing, fermentation in stainless steel tanks before transfer to oak. 225 litre French oak barriques, 7% new, with nine months maturation. 

The nose offers florals and seabreeze notes, a real oystershell character to be found here. A minerally backing with notes of white peaches and grapefruits, there is a seductive and yet slightly crunchy texture with very good length. Good complexity here. Fine balance and some real energy right through the length of the wine. A good future, at least four to six years. 93.
