Freycinet Wineglass Bay Sauvignon Blanc

Variety: Sauvignon Blanc

Country of Origin:

Region: Tasmania

Vintage: 2019

Award:

"Clear pale lemon in appearance. The aroma gives a blast of tropical fruits. There is guava, pineapple, mango and a bit of melon. The palate also displays a generous amount of tropical fruits. Rich in fruit weight, coating mouthfeel, finishing with a bit of tickling spice. The flavour dances in the mouth for a while and skips away. A glass of tropical fruit juice in the glass. Breakfast sauvignon blanc!”

Yay for partially old oak-fermented Sauvignon Blanc from the East Coast. I was actually quite surprised that this was 14.3% as it is soft, plumptious and refreshing all at once. It’s all ripe peaches, lemongrass, kaffir lime and a hint of passionfruit and smokiness. Get into it with a bunch of chargrilled seafood or a Thai papaya salad, maybe some South American style ceviche. Go at it people, it’s time for Sauvignon Blanc to have a place at your table.
