Cause & Effect Oaked Sauvignon Blanc 2016
About the wine
Liams silky Sauvignon-with-a-twist just picked up GOLD at the IWC awards
- Naked were extremely open to me pushing the boundaries with Sauvignon Blanc. They encouraged me to challenge the norm, and break all the rules.
- I absolutely love the versatility of Sauvignon Blanc. When the fruit is good enough, it's a real treat to allow some juice to ferment in premium oak. The takes the Sauvignon Blanc to a whole other level.
- I’m really thrilled with the result - it tastes like a silky smooth tropical explosion. The critics agree – it just picked up a Gold medal at the prestigious IWC awards!
