Description

  • Dry style
  • White peach
  • Pineapple
  • Citrus & lime

A bright and expressive nose with notes of white peach, passionfruit and pineapple. The palate bursts with citrus, lime and a hint of blackcurrant leaf. The mouthfeel is electric and lively with a long dry finish.

The majority of Amisfield's Sauvignon Blanc vines are planted in the shallow sandy loam soils on the gently sloping top terrace above the winery, with a small portion growing on the more fertile flats below.

The growing season was back to the mean after 2018’s unprecedented heat. Numerous cold snaps during harvest meant there was a need for diligent frost fighting at day break.

The grapes were harvested over a four-week period according to their flavour and aromatic profile using a combination of hand and machine harvesting. Individual parcels of fruit were destemmed and fermented separately at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks, using a number of combinations of selected yeasts.
