Spice Route Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Harvest date – mid to late Feb 

A wonderful expression of cool climate Darling vines. Enticing aromas of tropical fruits and stone fruit on the nose. The stone fruit notes carry through to the palate which holds a fresh, zippy acidity and an intense lingering mouthfeel.

Winemaking – grapes were machine and hand harvested at sugar levels from 21,5 – 23 degrees Balling.
The grapes were destalked and crushed directly into pneumatic press, juice was retained at 0,9 bar pressure, settled for 48 hours and then fermented in Stainless steel tanks at low temp.
Extended lees contact for a few weeks before blending and bottling.
