Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Palliser Estate, tasting note (fusws.api.aspedia.io – linket fra palliser.co.nz, hentet 2026-10-19): 2019 Palliser Estate Sauvignon Blanc – område: Martinborough; druer: Sauvignon Blanc; alkohol 13%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Sauvignon Blanc 2019 An iconic Martinborough style of Sauvignon Blanc that is serious, subtle and textural while still oozing with vibrant tropical and citrus fruit characteristics. Pale lemon with brilliant clarity. Richly detailed and refined on the palate, the interplay between weight and freshness are on full display this vintage. Racy citrus and kiwifruit details emerge on the mid-palate, finishing pristine, long and layered. A gentle grip gets your mouth watering… luckily pan-fried snapper only takes a minute! Fruit from our Clouston Vineyard and East Base Vineyard. The grapes are pressed to stainless steel tank were the juice is cooled and settled over 2 days. The clear juice is racked to another tank and then fermented for one month at cool temperatures to maximize the flavours. After fermentation is completed the lees are stirred on several occasions to add complexity and texture to the wine. The wine is vegan friendly Intensely tropical aromas are the hallmark of the Palliser house style, evoking passionfruit pulp, calamansi, dried herbs, mango and white stonefruit. Best enjoyed in its youth with fresh seafood or Pacific Rim cuisine over the next two years.
