2023 Passel Estate Sauvignon Blanc
2023 Sauvignon Blanc
Margaret River, Western Australia
Lychee, lemons and gooseberries with subtle tones of creamy French oak and brioche, a mineral finish of lime zest and dried thyme.
Description
Tasting Notes: Light green in colour with mother of pearl streaks. A bouquet of lychee, preserved lemons, gooseberries, hints of currants and curry leaf. Lively acidity and white fruit textures drive the palate, given gentle substance by bolder fruits and subtle tones of creamy French oak and brioche. A mineral finish coated in lime zest and dried thyme. Drink now for freshness or be rewarded with cellaring.
Winemaking notes: Sauvignon Blanc fruit was harvested in the early hours of the morning and immediately cold crushed to press, where the juice was separated from the skin. The juice was cold settled for 2-3 days before being racked and fermented in stainless steel and new French oak barrels (20%). The oaked portion was combined with the portion in stainless steel after fermentation, where the wine was matured on the fine lees with bâttonage occurring fortnightly for 5 months. The wine received a light fining prior to filtration and was then bottled with all-natural acidity.
