2011 SAUVIGNON BLANC

INTRODUCTION

Twenty different parcels of Sauvignon Blanc and one portion of Semillon from the different vineyard blocks were pressed and then fermented separately so that we had a greater range of options when creating the final blend. The wine was naturally fermented using wild yeast for added complexity and texture, and approximately fifteen percent of the Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon were fermented in aged French oak barriques.

VINEYARD PROFILE

Seresin has approx 250 acres of grapevines in total.

"The fruit comes from our clay rich hillside Raupo Creek vineyard, the alluvial shingles of our Tatou vineyard and the Home vineyard, which is made up of a variety of Waimakariri type soils of alluvial origin. "

Spur Pruning

Three vineyards varying in altitude from 157 to 460 feet above Sea Level

WINEMAKER NOTES

This Sauvignon Blanc displays passionfruit and herbaceous on the nose with a chalky mineral complexity. The palate is finely textured with ripe gooseberry, tropical fruit and citrus notes, framed by a fresh acidity to create a persistent finish. This wine is drinking well now but will develop well over the next five years.
