Mt Beautiful Cheviot Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2010 Wine

Item No: mb003

Description:

This full bodied dry Sauvignon Blanc has dry grass, capsicum and currant leaf aromas. On the palate this wine has a clean fresh gooseberry and white currant flavour backed by crisp acidity and good length.

WINEMAKING

Machine picked fruit was harvested cool to retain aroma and rushed straight to the press to minimise skin contact. The free- run and pressings were kept separate with both components cold settled for 48 hours to obtain bright, clear juice. The different vineyard blocks were fermented separately at cool temperatures to retain the maximum aroma, fruitiness and individuality. After fermentation, the wine was racked and kept on light lees for two months before being blended.
