Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Palliser Estate, tasting note (fusws.api.aspedia.io – linket fra palliser.co.nz, hentet 2026-10-19): 2020 Palliser Estate Sauvignon Blanc – område: Martinborough; druer: Sauvignon Blanc; alkohol 13%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Sauvignon Blanc 2020 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, almost clear in its youth. The very dry 2020 summer has delivered the quintessential Palliser house style. Crisp, refreshing and detailed on the palate, the vibrant acid line is tamed by the generosity and weight of the passionfruit and guava notes, culminating in a long, pristine finish. 89% of the fruit from our Clouston vineyard, the balance from our East Base vines. The juice is pressed and cooled in stainless steel for two days before racking and cold fermentation to maximise flavour. Postfermentation lees stirring adds complexity and texture to the wine. Vegan friendly A summery nose of tropical stone fruits and passionfruit, giving way to mango, guava, nectarine, Chinese gooseberries, tomato leaf and just a hint of dried herb. WINEMAKER Best enjoyed during the first 3 years from vintage with fresh seafood or Pacific Rim cuisine. Guy McMaster Picking Date: April 2020 Alcohol: 13.0% Bottled: September 2020
