About this wine

Polgoon Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant, small‑batch Cornish white that showcases the character of Polgoon’s coastal vineyards and their commitment to minimal‑intervention winemaking. Grown on south‑facing slopes overlooking Mount’s Bay, the fruit benefits from long daylight hours, cooling sea breezes and well‑drained soils that naturally enhance freshness and aromatic lift. Fermented with wild yeasts from the vineyard and winery, the wine develops layers of texture and complexity while retaining the bright, zesty purity that defines Polgoon’s style. Why You’ll Love It This is Sauvignon Blanc with a distinctly Cornish accent is fresh, expressive and full of coastal energy. The wild ferment adds subtle depth and savoury nuance, making it more characterful than many classic examples while still delivering the crisp vibrancy fans of the grape love. Meet the Producer Polgoon is a family‑run vineyard and orchard on the outskirts of Penzance, known for its sustainable approach and hands‑on craftsmanship. Since planting their first vines in the mid‑2000s, they’ve become one of Cornwall’s most respected producers, celebrated for wines that reflect the region’s maritime climate and unique terroir. Production Grapes are hand‑picked at peak ripeness and pressed gently to preserve aromatic delicacy. Fermentation is carried out using only the wild yeasts naturally present on the grape skins and in the winery, allowing the wine to develop its own individual character. Ageing on fine lees adds texture and subtle complexity without diminishing freshness. Tasting Notes Aromas of gooseberry, lime zest and elderflower mingle with hints of fresh herbs and a touch of sea spray. The palate is crisp and lively, offering citrus, green apple and subtle tropical notes, supported by a clean mineral edge. The finish is bright, refreshing and lightly textured from the wild ferment.
