Nelson Sauvignon Blanc 2009

Sauvignon Blanc is ideally suited to the Nelson region where a combination of warm, sunny days and cool autumn nights, help to create the intense varietal flavours for which this flagship New Zealand wine is recognised. 

Nose:  Delightfully aromatic with citrus, lime, green apple and herbaceous characters.

Palate:  A mouth-filling palate showing delicious citrus, gooseberry, green apple and tropical fruit flavours with typical minerally edge.  Rich and concentrated, the mid-palate shows genuine breadth and the overall impression remains clean, ripe and fresh.

Vintage:  Warm spring weather contributed to a good flowering and fruit set. A long sunny summer resulted in early harvesting of ripe fruit in excellent flavour development.  The grapes were harvested from 5 vineyard sites.  All fruit was crushed and destemmed before being cool fermented to preserve the vibrant, fresh Sauvignon characters.

Alcohol: 12%     Residual Sugar: 2.6 g/L     Acidity:  6.1 g/L

" A lighter style with hints of ripe golden delicious apple, passionfruit and a restrained, crisp finish"
