2023 Eddystone Point Sauvignon Blanc

Colour: Pale straw with a green hue Bouquet: Tropical fruit, passionfruit punch and blackcurrant, with delicate hints of flint and fresh herbs. Palate: Finely textured, displaying classic Sauvignon Blanc characters of guava, kiwi fruit and freshly shelled peas, that is marked by persistent length, texture and fine acid.

2023 was again quite a challenging season. Poor flowering conditions resulted in reduced crop levels across the state due to poor fruit set with plenty of hen and chicken. Waterlogged winter soils took time to warm up and vines were slow to grow, leading to a late harvest season. Plenty of disease pressure provided us with some great quality wines. The fruit for this Sauvignon Blanc was harvested from the Pipers River, Derwent Valley and Coal River Valley regions of Tasmania to display classic Sauvignon Blanc characters that are delicate and fresh. This wine was whole bunch pressed and fermented in a combination of stainless steel and French oak. Batonnage was utilised to enhance the texture of the wine and build complexity.
