2009 Sauvignon Blanc
Winemaking Notes
The 2009 Sauvignon blanc was harvested in two separate batches, both at approximately 11.5 Baume. There are two clones of Sauvignon blanc planted on the vineyard, one is more grassy and citrusy, the other more gooseberry and passionfruit. These two parcels were fermented with selected yeast to enhance these natural varietal differences in the clones. The wine was cool fermented in stainless steel. Post fermentation the wine was lees stirred weekly for 3 months to enhance texture and mouth feel prior to being blended and bottled.
$20.00 per bottle
Tasting Notes
This cool climate Sauvignon Blanc is a fresh and aromatic wine. It shows powerful passionfruit and gooseberry aromas on the nose, whilst the palate is deliciously refreshing and crisp with lees stirring adding palate depth and complexity.
