2013 has been a huge hit with the critics. Easy drinking, fruit forward and with a good bang of acidity, who wouldn't love this ripping Savvy B. A brilliant very pale straw colour with watery hue. Aromas of passionfruit, tropical fruits and citrus are present on the nose. The palate is reflective of the nose and also quite fruity with vibrant flavours of passionfruit and tropical fruits dominate followed by citrus. Clean crisp finish with aftertaste of tropical fruits and citrus.
Accolades and Awards:
94 Points - James Halliday, Wine Companion "A surprise packet, with a burst of passionfruit, lychee and mandarin, running through the entire length of the palate, but leaving the finish bright and fresh."
From the Winery
Gentle pressing and free run juices create the base of this wine. Traditionally fermented and matured in stainless steel at between 12 and 14-degree Celsius to ensure vibrancy of fruit, no malolactic fermentation was done to ensure the zesty acidity and intense fruit flavours shine in our wine.
2013 was a very good season with predominantly mild, dry days. Yields were generally low and this did result in some excellent parcels of fruit being harvested. Vine-balance was carefully monitored, resulting in fruit that demonstrates the vibrancy and fruit-derived characters that we strive for in our wines. By all accounts it was a textbook vintage.
