Oxford Landing Sauvignon Blanc #16182

Weather conditions leading up to the start of vintage 2004 were unseasonably cool followed by the threat of hot conditions in February. With a mammoth effort by the vineyard and cellar teams, the majority of the Sauvignon Blanc was harvested within two weeks. This served to preserve the fresh flavours and exceptional condition of the grapes and reward us with a wine showing high levels of natural acidity and retention of fruit flavour. Reduced handling of the fruit helped preserve flavour, and selected parcels were left in contact with yeast lees after fermentation to boost mouth feel. Oxford Landing Sauvignon Blanc 2004 is pale straw in colour with hints of green. The nose shows aromas of fresh grass, nettle and lifted notes of lemon zest and guava. A lovely mid palate weight, abounding with refreshing citrus and green tropical flavours, is balanced by a lively natural acidity leading to a long passionfruit finish. Harvested: February 2004 Alc/Vol: 11% Total Acid: 7.1 g/L pH: 3.32 Residual Sugar: 2.92 g/L Press Reviews/Awards Reviews of the 2003 vintage: "... a tropical fruit-driven wine with a vibrant, citrus palate and zippy finish."
