Mt Difficulty Sauvignon Blanc 2009

Estate Wines

An ideal cool dry autumn has resulted in ripe melon with an undercurrent of capsicum and mineral in the aromas. These aromas are replicated as flavours on the front palate, moving into a full rich mid-palate and then finish with lingering minerality. This wine is ideal for sensible summer evening drinking.

Winemaking Considerations

This wine comes from our Templars Hill Vineyard in Bannockburn. The fruit was hand harvested on the 14th of April in excellent condition. We harvested slightly later than the past couple of seasons due to the coolness of the season and also our desire to lock in a riper spectrum of flavours. The fruit was reductively handled during processing, then gently pressed and racked clean. The wine fermented cold in stainless steel and remained on gross lees for four months post ferment whilst being stirred weekly. These practices were employed to not only retain the maximum varietal fruit character of Sauvignon Blanc but also to develop complexity palate weight and texture.
