Slightly brassy in hue, the 2015 The Supernatural Sauvignon Blanc features aromas of passion fruit sorbet, then adds layers of tropical fruit (guava) and spice on the palate with lovely pink grapefruit notes on the long finish. This unique wine gets six hours of skin contact, then six months of lees contact and batonnage. The result is an aromatic yet full-bodied wine that doesn't really fit into existing paradigms of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. I've been conservative regarding the aging curve, but I do see some structural similarities to Sauvignon Blancs from Austria's Südsteiermark, which age very well, so I wouldn't be too surprised to see this drink well past the age of five.
