Greystone 2010 Savignon BlancLight straw in colour the wine moves towards a rich nose of fresh yet restrained tropical aromatics, underpinned by subtle complexity. A weighty pallet full of ripe guava and melon with an energetic streak of citrus-like acidity is perfect for those looking for an attractive alternative to 'everyday' Sauvignon Blanc. Enjoy chilled with light meats and fresh summer salads.
Viticulturist's Notes This was the first season we took a small parcel of fruit from our new Block 13 - a sandy-soil block with plenty of heat accumulation over summer. All of our Sauvignon Blanc blocks have a vine density of 2500/hectare and pruned to 2-cane VSP, and given miniumem irrigation.
Winemaker's Notes 25% of our fruit was barrel fermented after a gentle pressing without fining.
Our other portions were tank fermented before lees stirring to give a fresh yet full-bodied Sauvignon Blanc. Three estate blocks have given us a range of flabours - and a wine with multiple fruit layers.
