Infamous Goose Sauvignon Blanc 2011

750ML
Sku: 041542

The source of Infamous Goose grapes is Marlborough’s Wairau River Valley, where stony, sandy loam topsoil covers deep layers of free-draining shingle. This low-fertility soil reduces vigor, yielding lush, aromatic, ripe fruit. The fruit is picked at optimal ripeness and destemmed and the free-run juice is cool-fermented in stainless steel tanks. Four months of aging on the lees, also in stainless steel tanks, provides body and complexity before blending, fining, filtering and bottling

Tasting notes

Pale straw in colour streaked with green hues. Aromatically, this wine has classic Sauvignon fruit characters such as lime and gooseberry with a hint of rosemary. A lemon and lime infusion on the palate provides beautiful, balanced acidity. This is a focused yet complex Sauvignon Blanc.

Review

It's nicely lifted on the nose displaying grapefruit, feijoa and herbaceous characters. The palate is juicy and well rounded with bright acidity leading to a pleasant crisp finish. A beautifully harmonised and appealing wine.
