Deakin Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2009

|
|
Region:The fruit for this wine was harvested from Deakin Estate vineyard in Red Cliffs, North West Victoria.
Harvest Date: Late January and early February.
Vinification:A cool fermentation is essential to preserve the fruit characters in this wine. Rigorous fining trials and careful finishing and blending follow almost immediately so that this wine can be released and consumed young, when it is at its very best.
Colour: Pale straw with lime green hues.
Nose: Herbaceous characters lead on the nose, including light and crisp green bean and pea, with lovely lifted notes of citrus and kiwifruit.
Palate: Light-bodied, fresh and zesty. This wine displays lovely herbaceous and citrus flavours - a perfect blend of savoury and fruit characteristics on the palate.
Cellaring Potential: Best enjoyed young. Serve chilled.
Ideal Food Matches: Try an aromatic Thai fish, cooked dry with coriander seeds and kaffir lime, served on a bed of steaming rice and green vegetables.
James Halliday: Leads Deakin Estate's sales (of all varieties) in NZ. It has a mix of grassy/herbal characters plus some tropical notes, and has a commendably dry finish, which makes it food friendly.
