Ninth Island Sauvignon Blanc 2011

Colour: Pale golden straw with a tinge of lime.
Bouquet: A lifted floral bouquet of freshly picked lilies, hints of oyster shells, the perfume is mineralized, soft and elegant, talc like; with underlying tones of fresh fruits such as gooseberry, passion fruit, and vanilla cream, finishing with a hint of mango and the sweet grassy aroma of dill.
Palate: Medium bodied, well-balanced and soft structured palate, the flavours are long and fine, with expressive lush tropical fruits, mango, paw paw, banana passion fruit and sweet baby asparagus, all nicely balanced by savoury notes and a fresh crisp cleansing acid spine, which provides tightness to the finish, whilst the fruit remains delicate and lingering.
Sauvignon Blanc is perfectly suited to cool maritime climate of northern Tasmania and the banks of the Tamar River; our vineyards consistently achieve good fruit flavours and varietal balance. The grapes were harvested in mid April from medium cropping vines, these vines are spur pruned and grown on Vertical Shoot positioned trellis, which helps to expose the ripening bunches to the sun, thus achieving full ripeness and well-balanced flavours.
