CADE is owned by the same owners as Plumpjack... and in their typical fashion, they would never be "happy enough" to make a "good" Sauvignon Blanc: CADE only wants to make outstanding Sauvignon Blanc! In order to do this, they ferment their grapes in a combination of stainless steel tanks, stainless steel drums, French oak and concrete eggs. In addition, a combination of native and cultured yeasts are used, and the culmination of all this helps to give the wine aromatic and textural complexity.
The 2025 has aromas of pear, green apple, crushed white flowers, grapefruit, lemon, lime zest, lemon grass, and mandarin orange. In the palate are flavors of lemon méringue pie, citrus, honeysuckle, melon, and ruby red grapefruit. The wine has a complex, lengthy texture, followed by a beautiful, bright acidity on the finish. The addition of Viognier and Sauvignon Musqué adds a lot of the honeysuckle and floral notes. The concrete eggs and barrel ferments add a creamy texture, giving the wine more complexity and length while still maintaining great freshness and vibrancy.
