Jules Taylor Sauvignon Blanc

Origin: New Zealand
Terroir: Marlborough

Aroma & Flavour
Vibrant tropical aromas of passionfruit and mango leap from the glass mixed with zingy accents of citrus and herbs. The palate is lip smackingly delicious with concentrated tropical fruit flavours of passionfruit, pineapple and tones of citrus, complimented with fresh lemon-grass. Juicy and dry, with nice acidity, the wine makes you salivate whilst the flavours linger.

Vinification
With a dedicated harvesting crew on hand we able to harvest each block individually once the fruit was ripe and I was happy with the flavours being expressed. At the winery we pressed the grapes into stainless steel tanks for cold settling before gently racking off juice lees. We inoculated the juice with select yeast strains I’d carefully chosen to enhance the wines aromas and flavours. Fermentation followed at cool temperatures which helps maintain Sauvignon Blanc’s unique aromas and flavours. The wine was left to settle on its yeast lees for a very short period before being racked back into stainless steel tanks for maturation. Then came the best part; blending! Once blended, the wine was stabilised, filtered and bottled, and sealed it with a screwcap closure to retain freshness.
