Winemaker’s notes:
A new world style of Sauvignon Blanc. The wine has intense aromas of gooseberries, tropical fruit and sweet-grapefruit with a core of minerality. The excellent natural acidity creates balance to the concentrated, rich mouth-filling texture.
Oenology:
Night harvested at 23°B and crushed and destemmed – reductively. Skin contact for 3 hours, pressed and settled for 72 hours. The fermentation of this wine was postponed for 5 months before inoculated with CKS. Two weeks alcoholic fermentation temperature controlled at 14-16°C and was bottled soon thereafter.
Food suggestions:
Full flavoured seafood dishes and creamy soup or blackened, spicy pan-fried fish.
