2011 Single Vineyard, Barton Springs Sauvignon Blanc

Vineyard
The wine comes from the Barton Springs vineyard at Mount Torrens. The vines are planted in an east west orientation on gravelly loam over scree soils at 480 metres above sea level.

Winemaking
This fruit was harvested in the cool of the early hours by hand. Several hours of skin contact followed in the press to increase the flavour intensity of the wine.After gentle pressing, the juice was cool-fermented in stainless steel vats to retain the varietal characteristics that was found in the fruit. It then had 2 months of lees stirring to provide a creamy middle palate. This helps to add complexity and extend the flavours on the middle and back palate.

Tasting Notes
In the glass the wine is reminiscent of pale straw with tinges of green; a gentle swirl reveals aromas of gooseberry, snow peas and lime on the nose. Our efforts in the winery are revealed on the palate with flavours of snowpea, kiwifruit and passionfruit. A subtle creaminess on the mid palate is evidence of the lees stirring which is then counterbalanced by a long length, intense flavours and an elegant acid.
