Sauvignon Blanc 2011
The tasting notes
Central
Otago's Domain Road Vineyard, near Bannockburn, is sited in a sheltered valley
that provides a unique micro-climate, ideal for producing premium wines.
Our Sauvignon Blanc vines are planted partially on the top of Templers Hill, an area left untouched by 19th century gold miners, and partially on Doctors Flat where mining has exposed mineral-rich clays from a 2-million year old lake bed.
75% fermented in stainless fermenters, 25% French oak barriques.
Complex aromas of passionfruit, stonefruit and gooseberry dominate, with hints of black currant. Intense flavours of gooseberry and passionfruit combine with good weight on the mid-palate and an attractive minerality on the finish.
Enjoy with seafood, white meats, salad dishes, or as an aperitif.
