Montana Marlborough Sauv Blanc 09 - Y101
Winemaking Details: The grapes were harvested from mid March to late April 2009. Most of the grapes harvested were crushed and left in contact with the skins for a few hours to increase the extraction process and to provide strength and fullness of flavour. The remainder was gently bag pressed off to achieve fresh, clear, elegant juice. The juice was then fermented slowly at cool temperatures to retain the very distinctive regional and varietal characters: Oak Regime Aroma and Palate: The wine is pale straw in colour with green highlights. Aromas of ripe, red capsicum and gooseberry dominate with tropical pineapple and grapefruit notes apparent. This wine displays full fruit intensity. The ripe capsicum and gooseberry flavours with hints of pungency sit well with the supporting tropical fruit flavours. A well-balanced wine showing the lively, crisp acidity associated with this style. Cellaring and Food Matching: This wine can be matched with grilled oysters, barbecued prawns or salmon, and poached white fish with fresh green salads containing parsley, pepper or lemon. Mediterranean and Turkish dishes with hummus, olives and feta will also match well. Though made to drink while young and vivacious, this wine may be cellared for up to three years to develop further complexity
