Brokenwood Cricket Pitch White 2010
|
| |
|
|
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.
Region: Predominately Cowra - NSW, King Valley - Vic and McLarenVale - SA
Tasting Notes: Bright pale yellow with green tints. Aromas of citrus and Hunter Semillon lemongrass. Great aromas of lifted herbaceous SB and lime/hay notes. Some barrel ferment character adding subtle complexity and a further dimension to the palate. A fine acid structure provides length and liveliness to the finish.
Winemakers Comments: In terms of weather vagaries, the lead up to 2010 in our regions for Cricket Pitch white was relatively trouble free. The Cowra vineyard suffered a crop adjustment with a frost in October 2009. The rain did not let up in Orange, hence Cowra, King Valley and McLaren Vale supplying the Sauvignon Blanc for this wine. The Alpine Valley’s region had an excellent lead up to harvest and the Vale enjoyed a similar Mediterranean summer.
Vinification: Fruit outside the Hunter Valley is processed to the primary juice stage before transport to the winery in the Hunter Valley for fermentation and blending. This ensures the delicate grape and fruit aromas are preserved. A small percentage (approximately 5%) of this wine was fermented in barrel.
