Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Richly layered fruit and citrus with subtle herbaceous notes, balanced by underlying minerality, providing structure and freshness.
Vineyard Notes
2019 started later than recent Coonawarra vintages with good rainfall in the lead up to harvest, followed by a warmer season than usual. Sauvignon Blanc grapes were picked optimal condition from two blocks, K4 and 2M1, on Katnook's Estate.
Winemaker Notes
20% of the wine was fermented and aged on lees for six months in a combination of new and seasonal French oak barrels to build complexity, texture and mouthfeel.
Food Pairing Notes
Fresh oysters with vinaigrette, a bucket of fried chicken or goats' cheese and zucchini quiche.
