Rippon Central Otago Sauvignon Blanc 2018
Beautifully styled, with vibrancy & refinement
Beautifully styled, with vibrancy & refinement
Description
Dry
Very pale gold with a hint of green. Subtle aromas, grassy with a tinge of gooseberry. A little broad, subtle style. Simple and straightforward but clean. This wine has ripe, clean fruit and good flavour.
Picked by hand into small, 10kg cases allowing the fruit to arrive at the winery's sorting table intact. It is then whole cluster pressed over 4 hours and run, by gravity, into a settling tank. 12 hours of settling is passed after which the juice is racked, retaining fine lees, and run separately into seasoned/neutral French oak barrels (52% of total) and a fermentation tank (stainless-steel foudre).
The winery's resident yeast population (non-inoculated) started fermenting on day 5, with a temperature between 18-28ºC over 13 days. Both tank and barrel components were racked, blended, cold stabilised and filtered before bottling.
Food Pairing: Pair with Goats Cheese & Feta on crackers or on a fresh Strawberry and Pistachio Salad.
