Matilda Plains 2006 Sauvignon BlancLanghorne Creek, South Australia
Only free run juice, extracted post crushing, is used giving clean fresh phenolic free juice that is then settled and racked bright without filtration to be inoculated. Each parcel is inoculated with different yeast to enhance the fruit expression and mid palate weight and fermented cool. It was racked off lees immediately following ferment retaining 3.8g/l residual sugar balanced by 7.4 g/l TA. The wine was cold stabilized and bottled straight away to retain freshness and primary fruit characteristics so highly sought after. If you are looking for a fresh, drink anytime wine that will please most palates, this is it – a wine made for enjoyment.
This zesty Sauvignon Blanc is a very pale straw in color providing wonderfully fresh herbaceous aromas balanced by a lively palate displaying a touch of green apple and citrus with good acid structure and a crisp refreshing finish. A perfect partner to salad, white meat, slightly spicy Asian and Mediterranean food or just to enjoy on its own - serve chilled. The wine is made to drink at a young age.
Alcohol: 12% pH: 3.12 TA: 7.4 R/Sugar: 3.8g/l.
88 (2005 vintage) Bright straw. High-pitched, fresh and minty, with vibrant citrus and green apple aromas and a trace of fresh herbs. Juicy and crisp, the citrus and mint notes building and sharpening with air. This sauvignon is delicious and very easy to drink. Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
