Tasting Notes:
Colour: Light straw with distinct green hues.
Nose: Lifted varietal characters of gooseberry, lime and herb with lovely complexity and freshness.
Palate: Clean, crisp acid with full fruit and complex characters. Good varietal definition with length and succinct finish without lingering bitterness.
Potential: Drink now but short term cellaring will add further complexity and varietal definition.
Foods: Sushi & Sashimi. Drink anytime outdoors with tapas and other white meats. Serve chilled for maximum enjoyment.
Technical: Bottled May 2007 under screw cap, Alcohol 12.3%, pH 3.25, TA 6.8 Winemaking by Nick Haselgrove, Warren Randall & the cellar team at TatlinsThis is the first vintage of Blackbilly Sauvignon Blanc sourced from premium vineyards in the high altitude Adelaide Hills. Distinctive in varietal aromatics and flavours this is truly an exciting wine style typical of the variety.
Simple, minimalist winemaking techniques are used with emphasis given to preservation of fruit and varietal character. No oak is used in the wine and we have bottled it quickly and under a screw cap seal to maximise freshness. It is intended to be drunk as a young wine, served chilled with seafood & white meats or as an aperitif.
