Wignalls Sauvignon Blanc 2011

 

Winemakers Notes

 

 

Our 2011 Sauvignon Blanc shows a full spectrum of the primary fruit varietal characteristics of Albany’s Cool Maritime Climate. Overtones on the nose shows some tropical fruit, snow peas, nettles and clean herbacousness.

 

Cool ferments have retained the natural freshness and crispness of the fruit. The lees were stirred weekly (Batonnage) to gain mid weight, leading to a luscious palate and complexity once in bottle.

 

Our Sauvignon Blanc shows intense flavours of passionfruit, tropical fruits and more snow peas, with an underlying cool climate varietal herbacousness on the nose.

 

This wine is best consumed within two years of bottling and is a perfect match with seafood.
