Umamu EstateMacAnn SAB Cane Cut 2014
About this product
Our philosophy has always been to give our wines time to develop in the bottle before release, a rarity in today’s market. Enjoying wines when they are ready to drink, rather than straight after bottling, when the wine has had time to develop and balance up in the bottle with no screaming parts.
This cane cut is produced from Sauvignon Blancvines planted in 1987. Hand harvested on the 17th of April at 23 baume. Fruit cold crushed to press and cold settled before a 12 o C ferment in barrel. Aged on light lees for four months before bottling.

Golden yellow; Umamu says it was exciting to achieve (for the first time) sufficiently high baume to justify cane cutting (the fruit flavour has to be there before you cut the canes to increase the baume); there is just enough acidity to balance the intensely sweet caramel/cumquat/barley sugar flavours.

Deep golden colour. The bouquet is sharp-edged lemon and orange citrus fruit embellished with toffee, vanilla and crème brûlée, the palate rich and sweet and loaded with honey and toffee-like flavours. Poached peach and stewed apricot, too. A gorgeous Barsac style. Drink till 2023.
