Lake Hayes Central Otago Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Description

Dry

• Dry style
• Pineapple
• Cape gooseberries
• Balanced acidity

Classic, punchy Sauvignon Blanc. The cool vintage has given strong pineapple and cape gooseberry aromatics, which lead on to an intense palate with bright, balanced acidity. The finish is juicy, long and satisfying.

Sourced from Sauvignon Blanc vineyards in the Pisa sub-region of Central Otago, located on the gravelly terraces above the Clutha River. These soils help control the natural vigour of the variety, focusing the vines on building flavour and intensity in the fruit.

Grapes were picked in the cool of the morning to maintain the freshness of the fruit. Grapes were pressed immediately and settled in tank for 3 days before racking and fermenting cool with aromatic yeast. The wine was then blended and rested on fine lees for 3 months before bottling.
