2017 Moorilla Muse Sauvignon, Southern Tasmania

This wine is made to sit somewhere between a typical Sauvignon Blanc and a Fumé Blanc, therefore, it is simply called Sauvignon. The wine is a blend of a number of batches of stainless steel fermented, but mostly barrel fermented wines. Verdant and herbaceous, the 2017 Sauvignon is all about freshness, lightness, and shades of green. Cucumber, rosemary and melon romp around a bright, grassy nose, with soft, luxurious tannins driving red apple, lemon pith and a slight savouriness across the palate. The light French oak treatment is expressed in a slight toastiness and an abundance of volume and length.”
