2009 Sauvignon Blanc

VINTAGE
Winter rainfall was average, giving good soil moisture levels for budburst in early spring. Conditions during spring were dry with minimal frost and no disease pressures allowing for excellent vine canopy development.

WINEMAKING
The 2009 Sauvignon Blanc grapes were night picked at optimum ripeness to capture the lively herbaceous and tropical varietal characters which develop in the cool climate of Coonawarra. Anaerobic handling of the juice and the selection of appropriate yeast ensured these fresh characters were maintained in the finished wine.

COLOUR
Pale straw in colour with a touch of green tinge hues.

BOUQUET
Fresh herb garden aromas with lemony overtones and a touch of light tropical fruits.

PALATE
Fresh and lively citrus characters complimented by herbaceous grassy flavours leading to a clean, refreshing finish.

SUGGESTED FOOD
Enjoy with grilled salmon and asparagus.

CELLARING
A very attractive wine to drink now.
