Ferngrove Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2008
Wine Style: Light bodied white wine. Grape Variety: 57.5% Sauvignon Blanc; 42.5% Semillon. Growing Region Frankland River, Western Australia. Technical Details Alc.13.5% pH 3.19 TA 5.2g/L RS 0.67g/L Appearance Tinges of green on pale straw. Nose Aromas of passionfruit and lime with hints of kiwi fruit. Palate Fresh and flavoursome tropical fruits with hints of gooseberry, passionfruit and citrus, followed by a clean, textural finish. Vinification With a timely shower of rain in December 2007, the vines were well equipped to tackle the heat of summer with plenty of vegetative growth and a wetter than normal soil profile. Grapes were harvested a little earlier than normal because of the warm Indian summer. Both batches of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc were harvested cold at night before gentle pressing for settling. Juice was then racked in a reductive manner to ferment. A variety of yeasts were used to enhance complexity and to encourage the development of texture which is further improved with periodic lees stirring. Cellaring Enjoy now while the fruit flavours dominate. Winemaker’s Comments This style is all about regionality, freshness and vitality- enjoy! Serve Chilled at approximately 8-10oC. Food: Enjoy with friends and a wood-fired pizza.
