Ondine Sauvignon Blanc 2008
Sauvignon Blanc from the Darling appellation is very
aromatic, due in part to the uniqueness and the location of the
terrior. We set out to produce a wine which offers more
focus on the structure of the palate. Although challenging this
wine offers a new dimension of length and concentration of
the pallet.
Description:
This wine displays asparagus flavors rounded
off with undertones of grass and green fig aromas. Delicate
in style, the wine has both balance and complexity. High
levels of organic acid lead to a mineral mid-palate. The
balance of flavors and acidity, supports a savory wine.
Style:
Dry White Wine
Grape Varieties:
100% Sauvignon Blanc
Vinification:
The grapes were harvested by hand, early in
the morning, at 23.5˚B . Cooled down to 12˚C upon arrival
at the cellar the juice enjoyed fourteen hours of skin contact
before drawing off the juice. Fermentation was inoculated
with Vin 13 which is a less aromatic yeast.
