Darling Cellars Reserve Bush Vine Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Name: Darling Cellars Reserve Bush Vine Sauvignon Blanc 2021
Brand: Darling Cellars
SKU: 47826

A bouquet of green fig, asparagus, freshly cut grass leads to a delightful tropical fruit palate of melon, passionfruit and pineapple. These flavours are supported by a vibrant acidity that keeps the palate fresh.

This wine will pair well with most seafood but will go particularly well with some of the West Coast’s fresh mussels or oysters!!

Vineyard type: Bush Vine, no irrigation.

about the harvest: Yield: 3 - 4 ton/ha
Balling at Harvest: 21° - 22°B

in the cellar :

Vinification: Crush and destalk, 14 days fermentation at 14 - 15°C. Grapes and juice handled reductively to prevent oxidation and lock in fruitiness.
Maturation: Left on lees for 2 months to add complexity.
