2017 Down to Earth Sauvignon Blanc

This wine was fermented in a combination of 64% tank and 36% large French oak foudres and demi-muids. It was then aged on lees for 7 months in the same vessels. Brilliant water like colour with a light tinge of green to the outskirts. Aromas of tropical fruits and citrus are drawn from the glass followed by some green apple and fresh herb notes. On the palate flavours of tropical fruits and lime dominate over green apple and subtle herbaceous characters. Dry crisp finish with an aftertaste of tropical fruits, lime, green apple and fresh herb infusions.

Other Reviews….
36% whole-bunch pressed and fermented in a 3000l and a 2000l foudre and 600l demi-muids, the balance crushed and destemmed, and cool-fermented in tank, matured on lees for 7 months before blending. Citrus and white stone fruit flavours are built into the texture, and form part of a continuum that also brings French oak and cleansing acidity to the long palate. Won't bite you if you cellar it for some years. Drink by 2023.
