A serious substantial Sauvignon Blanc says Jancis Robinson

Lismore, Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc 2017 South Africa 13.5%

From one of the coolest vineyards on the south coast — 30 per cent fermented in a concrete egg, the rest in 500-litre oak barrels. Samantha O’Keefe has produced a serious, substantial wine with a lot more life than many a Pessac-Léognan. Bone-dry finish. Probably best drunk with food. Impressive persistence.
