Hidden Bench Béton Sauvignon Blanc 2021

We retasted this interesting take on Sauvignon Blanc, the first wine that was aged in the estate’s new concrete tanks and a chance to taste a wood-aged Sauvignon Blanc beside a concrete version. Aging in concrete was for seven months. An interesting and different nose of grapefruit, pear, some tropical notes, grass, and herbs with flinty minerality. It has gorgeous texture and a rich, deep feel on the palate with ripe pear, grapefruit, subtle spice notes, lime zest and a long, fresh finish. Love it, and even more with a year of aging. Score – 93. (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, April 3, 2023)
