Description

The 2021 Sauvignon Blanc is bang on. It is clear in colour, and crisp and punchy on the palate.

Stylistically our aim with Antonio’s Sauvignon Blanc is to capture vibrant varietal characters evident around 12 Baume. A decision was made to harvest our fruit at 11.7 Baume, which flavour wise was perfectly captured key characteristics of our Sauvignon Blanc block

The winemaking was unique where we crushed, chilled and only kept the free run juice which resulted in softness on the palate. Fermentation was treated as per our aromatic white ferment program using a superior yeast to produce relevant ‘thiol’ characters.

Aromatically I think of lime jelly with passionfruit.  On the palate the wine is dry, with pineapple complimenting the passionfruit thiols produced by the yeast. Pleasingly the wine is naturally soft in the mouth which makes it a wonderful drink during most times of the year.

We are pleased with the first release of this wine, Enjoy!
