Amisfield Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Intensely aromatic with ripe passionfruit and more subtle delicate flavours of lemongrass, fennel and elderflower. The wine shows great concentration and drive, with a textural mid palate framed by succulent juicy bright acidity. The majority of fruit was cool fermented in stainless steel, with a small component of barrel fermented wine blended in for texture.

The majority of our Sauvignon Blanc vines are planted in the shallow sandy loam soils on the gently sloping top terrace above the winery, with a small portion growing on the more fertile flats below.

The grapes were harvested over a two-week period according to their flavour and aromatic profile using a combination of hand and machine harvesting. Individual parcels of fruit were destemmed and fermented separately at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks, using selected yeasts. A small component was barrel fermented and blended in for texture.
