2009 Sauvignon Blanc

 

Tony Love, The Advertiser 7th October 2009 92 points"Offering more pear and tropical aromas this year than its regional colleagues, the herbal elements come later with almost minty hints, fresh and quite lime-like in the finish, cool Lenswood fruit looking good. Definite fish and chips potential here." Tasting note 2009 was an intense yet elegant year for Sauvignon Blanc from our cool vineyard site. This wine shows generous pear and stone fruit aromas melding with hints of tropical fruit. Tight tangy acidity gives length of flavour and a crisp dry finish. Winemaking: Enormous care and effort is taken as the fruit approaches ripeness. 2009 was no exception. Picking 3 parcels over a 10 day period enabled us to manage different ferment batches with slightly different character. The final wine was then carefully blended for release in spring. Technical Information: Fermentation:              100% stainless steel. Small batches.       Alcohol:                       13.5 %
