Schubert Wines - 2015 Sauvignon Blanc
|
ORIGIN: Wairarapa CLIMATIC CONDITIONS: A windy spring and a wet spell over the New Year, was followed by a hot, dry summer.
DATE OF HARVEST: 7th & 8th April 2015 HARVEST & VINIFICATION: Partially whole bunch pressed and maceration on skins. Fermentation in different vats and partly in oak under influences of various yeasts and temperatures. Racking by gravity to keep maximum freshness of fermentation-CO2. DATE OF BOTTLING: 15th October 2015 ALC: 13.5% VOL
TASTING NOTES: A seductive nose with aromas of pineapple and passionfruit, with the fine flinty mineral notes. Fresh fruit entrance with hints of pineapple and luscious citrus components an element nettles, with yeasty aromas amongst a mineral flinty core that offers a long elegant lingering finish. This is the perfect match to the mouth watering whitebait on green asparagus with beurre blanc. DRINKING TEMPERATURE: 10 ºC CELLARING: now to 5 years |
