Winemaker and winery: Ben Glover, Wither Hills Vineyards. Grape variety: 100%Sauvignon Blanc. Region: Marlborough. Viticulture/Vinification: Machine Harvested at optimal ripeness & maturity during the night to retain the delicate vibrant aromas, gently pressed to tank where it was settled and racked. Fermentation was in 100% Stainless Steel for approximately 25days at low temperatures to retain the bright aromatics and palate intensity of the variety. The wine was then blended, and stabilised, and filtered ready to bottle. Availability:459 stores. 13.0% vol.
Very, very plain label. An enticing aroma. There’s something just on the periphery, that I almost recognise and it’s bugging me, but in a good way. Fruity but greenly fresh. I like it. It doesn’t shout MSB, and is most like, if I had to say, a slightly off dry Touraine Sauvignon. 23/03/10
