Young Guns | For the classicists and the geeks alike, an incredible collection
About the SessionWhat is a Young Gun?
A talented winemaker who pushes the boundaries, breaks the rules and creates cutting-edge wines with personality and energy. Young Guns either work, or have worked for notable estates, but also produce unique wines under their own labels. They are dynamic, working together in pushing the envelope and promoting brand SA. They are the winemakers who should be on your radar as they are making some of the most daring, innovative, and simply delicious wines in SA. They travel and taste extensively, drawing inspiration from the classics through to the more edgy, hip styles and techniques, from the profound and obscure wine regions of the world. And then they apply their own creative interpretations on home soil, often searching for unique vineyard sites, cultivars and old vines. The results are most often small in numbers and high in demand, selling out on release. They are the rising stars, the future icons and ultimately, tomorrow’s investment wines.

Winemakers personal tasting note:
'Combining skin and barrel-fermented components, with wild yeasts adding yet another dimension, this wine is showing incredible black current intensity, aromatic spices and passion fruit. The underlying minerality adds depth to this beautifully expressive Sauvignon Blanc.' - Trizanne Barnard

Critics Ratings
‘Sauvignon’s evocative hay and wild grasses accents, and smoky whiffs from 50% barrel ferment in old wood on 2018. Mineral rather than fruity, with poise and persistence, and gentle grip from the other half that was skin-fermented in new 500L oak.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2020, 5* (96 pts)
‘A new wine from a new region for the talented Trizanne Barnard, this is a wonderful Sauvignon Blanc, right up there with the most complex examples of the variety in South Africa. Combining skin and barrel-fermented components, with wild yeasts adding another dimension, this has notes of hay, aromatic spices, grapefruit, fresh toast and impressive palate length. 2020-24.’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 95/100
