Glazebrook Sauvignon Blanc 2016 |
The grapes were de-stemmed and cooled with a portion of the juice left in contact with the skins for a few hours before gentle pressing. Fermentation at 12 to 14 C took place in tank and the wine was bottled young to retain freshness and bright fruit flavours.
The 2016 growing season was a characterised by a relatively cool Spring, good heat through the mid-Summer with drought conditions in some Eastern areas and variable conditions at harvest. This made for a challenging harvest with picking decisions largely dictated by periodic rain events. However, conditions remained warm throughout the harvest period and all-in-all we were very satisfied with the quality and quantity of grapes received at the winery.
May be enjoyed on its own or with contemporary seafood and chicken cuisine, or with Asian inspired flavours.
