jOHN B | SAUVIGNON BLANC / COLOMBAR 2009
   
 
 

VITICULTURE



The vines are mostly planted on southeast facing slopes in rich limy soil. They are all trellised and were established from 1983 to 1999.



WINEMAKING




22 °Balling (Brix). In the cellar the juice was cold fermented in stainless steel tanks at 15°C. After fermentation the wine was left on the fine lees for two months and then the two cultivars were blended just before bottling. This year the blend is 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Colombar.

WINEMAKER'S COMMENTS



The wine has a lovely floral bouquet with intense fruit flavours on the palate and a well balancing acidity makes for a zesty, long-lasting aftertaste. A fresh, fruity dry wine for everyday enjoyment.
