The Adelaide Hills 2018 vintage was, thankfully, a gentle and kind affair. Good winter rain, late budburst and a cool, mild harvest gave the grapes natural acidity and vibrant fruit flavours. Ideal conditions for a balanced crop and therefore, balanced wine.
This is 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the Carey Gully vineyard in the Adelaide Hills. Hand-harvested on 18th and 23rd March. Free-run juice only, settled to clear and fermented without solids for three weeks. Settled on lees for eight weeks before bottling. Alcohol 13%; pH 3.10; TA 7.5g/L
.
Aromas of nettle, lemon zest, white currant, fresh jalapeño chillies and sweetcorn precede a pallet that is higher in acidity and lower in alcohol than previous vintages and showing all the hallmarks of classic Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc. The palate shows long, tight, persistent and nuanced flavours with steely, mineral acidity and a flinty finish.
