Ken Forrester Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Name: Ken Forrester Sauvignon Blanc 2008
Brand: Ken Forrester
SKU: 19730

This wine shows complex, ripe fruit with a dry finish. Flinty minerality mixing it up with tropical fruit and a hint of grass aromas on the nose. Exceptional long tropical pineapple, citrus finish which is typical of the long hang time in our cool region.

Very good while preparing a meal on the patio. Ideal with fish, chicken and pasta.

about the harvest: Grapes are hand picked over a progressive ripening curve to capture the natural acidity and show the riper, tropical fruit flavour of Sauvignon Blanc with typical freshness and balance.

in the cellar : After crushing, pumped through mash-cooler straight to press for draining. Free-run juice settled and fermented separately from pressings. Extended lees contact after fermentation for about 8 weeks to increase "creamy" character. Juice/wine handled reductively throughout the process.
