THE SPRINGS SAUVIGNON BLANC 2011
VINTAGE NOTES
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc (100%) Latitude: 42.9 degrees South Cellar Notes Traditional Kiwi techniques of vinification were used to make this wine. SO2 was used in the vineyard when harvesting to retain as much varietal character as possible as well as soft pressing of the grapes. The clarified juice was then racked and fermented using cultured yeast specific to Sauvignon Blanc. After fermentation SO2 was added, the wine was then fined, filtered and then bottled soon after.
Tasting Notes This Sauvignon Blanc has been made in a classic Kiwi style. It exhibits aromas of pineapple and freshly cut grass. The palate shows richness with good texture and fine acidity. Food match: Anti-pasto, fish and shellfish dishes, delicate white meats.
