Windy Peak Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2010

Region
Victoria

Appearance
Light straw with green tinges.

Bouquet
Clean and fragrant grassy aromas with subtle tropical fruit characters.

Palate
Light refreshing palate with typical Sauvignon Blanc gooseberry and grassy notes. The Semillon contributes citrus notes and a tight acid backbone. The palate shows delicacy, freshness and texture.

Vintage Conditions
The 2009 – 2010 growing season saw one of the earliest seasons to date. Timely rainfall received during early summer gave the vineyards some relief from a dry winter and spring. Conditions for ripening of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon were close to ideal with warm days and cool nights. Fruit was picked once optimal flavours were achieved.

Winemaking
Once the fruit was at optimal maturity, it was harvested in the cool of the night and gently pressed. This helps retain varietal character and freshness. Once the fruit was pressed, the juice was fermented in both oak casks and stainless steel. The use of the barrel fermentation contributes to texture and softness. The stainless steel makes sure the wine retains fruit lift and freshness.
