Variety: Sauvignon Blanc

Region: Pyrenees

Tasting Notes: Ripe Gooseberry & Melon
The nose is oh so Sauvignon Banc with all the ripe gooseberry and melon aromas. The palate is also ripe and expressive showing tropical fruit flavours and a hint of fragrant lemongrass.

Background Information: Friends of ours, in the Pyrenees have supplied us with this wine, for the sixth time. Other than a hiccup in 2007 we’ve been able to access their 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 & now 2008 estate grown Sauvignon Blanc.
Their style is completely different to the softly sweaty and pungent Savvy’s made by our friends from across the Tasman. It has always been upfront with tropical fruits and this 2009 is no exception. This release has an extra depth of flavour due to 6 months of yeast stirring in the tank, before bottling.
