Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2011 75cl Code: Country: Region: Category: Barcode: New Zealand Marlborough New Zealand White Wines 9418408030016 Description: The 2011 Sauvignon Blanc offers lifted aromas of ripe stonefruit and juicy citrus with underlying notes of blackcurrant leaf and tomato plant spice. The palate is fine yet succulent, with zesty citrus flavours and fresh acidity. There is an appealing plushness about this wine especially as it leads into a lingering and characteristically crisp finish. The Sauvignon Blanc harvest commenced on March 21st under cool yet settled autumn conditions. The first fruit was picked from stonier, warmer sites in the Rapaura sub region. Harvest continued steadily over a months time, progressively working through the later ripening sites with the last of the Sauvignon Blanc being harvested on April 20th. Fruit thinning paid off with all but a few blocks of Sauvignon Blanc safely tucked away in the winery when unseasonably heavy rains arrived over the weekend of April 17th. Strict yield management produced fruit of ideal ripeness. Background: The Cloudy Bay vineyards are located in the Marlborough region, at the Northern end of New Zealand's South Island. Grown under ideal conditions, the vines produce intensely flavoured fruit with distinctive varietal character. BUY 6 FOR £16.98 EACH. SAVE £18.00 !!
