Four Sisters Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc NV
|

|

Region: Central Victoria
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc is a relative new comer to the wine scene and 2010 is Four Sisters' first year of venturing into this new style. Its inception began with the vineyard's idea that 99.9% of females loved drinking Sauvignon Blanc. So with the success they’ve had over the years with their Sauvignon Blanc blend, and the recent surge in sparkling wine drinkers, they thought it perfect sense to converge the two. We hope you enjoy!
Vineyards: The fruit was predominantly sourced from five individual vineyard sites across Central Victoria including parcels from a high altitude, cool climate vineyard in the Strathbogie Ranges at 450m (1,476 feet). The average ages of the vines are 10 years. Soil types across each individual site vary from sandy loam with some clay content through to very sandy soils on the banks of the Goulburn River.
Winemkaing: The Sauvignon Blanc fruit was picked and crushed during the cool of the night to ensure retention of the fresh varietal characters and preservation of fruit flavour. After crushing the must was pressed and settled at 0oC – 2oC. A relatively aromatic yeast strain was used for inoculation and this parcel was cool fermented for 2-3 weeks. Post fermentation the wine was stabilised, filtered and blended. It was then prepared for bottling, with bubbles being added at the very last stage - an important step to ensure the wine retains its fresh and aromatic nature.
Tasting Notes: Fresh, vibrant and completely enticing this sparkling wine shines with aromas of passionfruit, pineapple and a hint of green apple. The palate is clean and refreshing with a floral citrus hint and has a long, lingering finish. It’s pretty, it’s enticing and its delicate flavours will steal your heart and have you hooked for life!
Food Match: A beautiful match with fresh and char-grilled seafood, fresh strawberries or sashimi.
