Curious Chardonnay Sauvignon Blanc 2010
|
| |
|
|
A fresh, fruit driven wine displaying aromas of citrus and tropical fruits and some herbaceous notes. Typical Chardonnay flavours of melon and fig combine with the grassy and grapefruit flavours from the Sauvignon Blanc. The wine is crisp and refreshing, with a long clean finish.
This wine was crafted from 80% Chardonnay grapes and 20% Sauvignon Blanc grapes, sourced primarily from vineyards in the Murray Darling region. The grapes were picked and crushed during the cool of night so as to retain their fresh, varietal flavours – which is especially important when using aromatic varietals such as Sauvignon Blanc.
The 2010 growing season allowed us to breathe a sigh of relief. With heat spells and bushfires in 2009, and higher than ideal alcohols in 2008, it seems that 2010 will produce wine with more elegance and balance. It was not without the odd scare though as higher than average rainfalls in March caused a few issues with disease, thankfully, the worst seemed to skip us. Overall 2010 looks to be a promising year with lower than average yields providing excellent quality and a long slow ripening season providing intense fruit characters amongst all varieties.
