Description
Method
Fermented at low temperature to maximise fruit potential and aromatics. We purposely don’t ferment to full dryness because that’s the way, ah-hah, ah-hah, we like it, ah-hah.
Results
Our warmer climate twist on the traditional. Think Sauv Blanc with a tropical undertone. Lively and aromatic with gooseberry, white peach and stone fruit flavours. Off-dry with juicy acidity for a full, round finish.
Conclusion
For those who aren’t partial to having their faces turned inside out by a tight, green, cat’s pee Sauvignon Blanc – we have you covered. With the help of Heathcote’s sunshine and some smart vinification choices, we have formulated a soft, juicy, fruit basket whilst retaining the more pleasurable characters of this variety.
