Dazzling, pristine green tinged straw. Distinctive lifted fresh Sauvignon fruit purity, outrageous lift of Pink Grapefruit mixed with fragrant gooseberries, Thai basil aromas and just cut green grass as well as complex hints of white roses and even a little spruce. Three dimensional and high impact, mouth-filling with more zingy gooseberry fruit and fresh layers of mineral like flavour in the middle palate before a long zesty citrus tinged ‘juicy fruit’ finish.
Whole bunches from our most distinctive Sauvignon Blanc vineyard, Bill & Vicki Borchardt’s in the heart of the Adelaide Hills atop Teakle’s Hill at Woodside were hand selected and picked on the 3rd of April in the cool of early morning then destemmed in small batches without crushing the fruit to fill gentle press.
The free run juice was then fermented in small stainless steel tanks between 12 and 14 degrees Celsius. This Wishing Clock has a high level of natural acidity, (7.4 grams per litre) a pH of 3.19, and although bone dry and alcohol of only 12%.
Dandelion Vineyards is a unique fusion of vineyards and vignerons. Our wines represent decades of experience, blending the fruit of our heirloom vineyards with the finest traditions of artisan winemaking.
Dandelion Vineyards are proven plantings that have stood the test of time. Our wish is to nurture the unique character of these vineyards and express their terroir in our wines. Capturing variety, vintage and vineyard requires an enlightened approach and although our growers see the Devil in every weed, we encourage the humble Dandelion amongst the vines as they suppress winter weeds, provide mulch in summer, and proffer their Wishing Clocks in spring to blow off to make our wish come true.
