Our take
Old-world, unmanipulated wine in a valley that doesn't always do that.

Why it's worth your time
The Life from Stone Sauvignon Blanc is the bottle; the estate's old-school, unhurried philosophy is the experience. A short, honest tasting in a quiet valley.
What we love
The Life from Stone Sauvignon, an honest, old-school white.
What to know
The Bruwer family farm with native yeasts, no fining, and no filtration; the Life from Stone Sauvignon comes from a vineyard so stony the vines genuinely struggle.
