VQA
This award winning Sauvignon Blanc is a must try. Clear and bright with fresh clean aromas of gooseberry, grapefruit, passionfruit, and lemon balm. An aromatic and flavourful Sauvignon Blanc. This fabulous sipping wine has refreshing flavours of citrus and gooseberry.
Harvested from the vineyards of long-standing growers for Peller Estates. After a very gentle pressing the free-run juice is fractioned off, then cool fermented (49% in older French oak barrels, 51% in stainless steel tanks) with a unique strain of yeast called 'X5', which assists in building texture in the wine. The wines were then blended and allowed to age for a short period of time in stainless steel tanks before bottling.
FLAVOUR PROFILE

Grapefruit and white currant, with a touch of lemon zest, lemon-scented herbs, and soft oak linger on the finish.
