The Sauvignon Blanc crisp, aromatic, lemon zesty, mineral crunchy, complex savoury textural French oak characters.
From the Passel Estate notes:
Sauvignon Blanc fruit was harvested in the early hours of the morning and immediately cold crushed to press, where fruit was separated from skin. 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.
