Clairault Sauvignon Blanc 2009

Blend 100% Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes

Pale straw in colour with green hues. The aroma is smell of honey due melon, passionfruit, lychee, green pear, and sugar snap peas. A very clean aroma, with no winemaking influences clouding the purity of fruit. The palate also allows the natural fruit flavours to come to the fore. It has a delicate mouthfeel with a moderate acidity and sweetness. The wine finishes cleanly allowing the fruit flavours to linger.

Will Shields’ Winemaking Notes

The 2009 vintage was marked by strong vegetative growth during spring followed by a warm dry summer period which saw rapid sugar development and then a period of cool overcast conditions leading up to harvest. Yields were moderately low, acid levels high and flavour development was slow. This 2009 Sauvignon Blanc comes exclusively from the Clairault vineyard from 4 different blocks ranging in age from 5 to 30 years. The winemaking is simple but very careful in its approach with the aim of highlighting and accentuating the natural fruit flavours of Sauvignon Blanc without any winemaking influences clouding the picture.
