We have to admit to a slightly raised eyebrow before we opened this barrel fermented, partial skin-contact Sauvignon Blanc from Jayden.. how 'extreme' would it be we wondered.. We should have known though - Jayden has judged this perfectly. The wine is simply delicious. Loaded with brightness and lift - yet supremely balanced with gorgeous texture and breadth. Really clever stuff again here. This comes from Jayden's own vineyards and he captures the place and year perfectly. Thought-provoking but far from taxing - this is a hit from the Ong. L&S (Apr 2020)

Jayden Ong
Jayden Ong started making wine at his 'One Block' winery in 2010. There is another label for others which are not strictly 'one block' - 'La Maison de Ong'.
In 2015 Jayden and his wife Morgan bought a plot of land and started the Jayden Ong label for wines from their home-grown fruit. As he puts it, "Jayden Ong wines are the wines we grow (100% control on all farming, dry grown, high altitude, organic at a minimum), make & bottle and come from Chestnut Hill (300m asl) and our home vineyard Forest Garden (700m asl)". This is early days for this vineyard, but the first efforts look extremely promising.
