Alpine Road 2023 Sauvignon Blanc
THE WINE
Lifted grassy and tropical fruit aromas lead to a lively palate bursting with ripe passionfruit, gooseberry and citrus flavours. These flavours linger through the textural midpalate before a long, dry, citrus finish.
Enjoy this wine with asparagus risotto.

THE WINEMAKING
The fruit for the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc was picked in March at 12.1° baumé. The grapes were picked in the cool early morning, before being crushed to tank to spend 48 hours on skins. This extracted wonderful aromatics and varietal flavours. The fruit was then processed quickly off skins and fermented cool to preserve fruit quality.
