Auntsfield Single Vineyard South Oaks Sauvignon Blanc 2021
Auntsfield continues the proud heritage of Marlborough?s first vineyard and winery established in 1873. Their Single Vineyard wines are made from grapes grown at Auntsfield Estate. Each wine shows the distinctive characteristics of ripeness, texture and minerality - qualities unique to the ancient Greywacke rock and Loess clay soils of the vineyard.
South Oaks Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc is from a small 2-hectare block, situated at the very southern elevated corner of the vineyard next to some old Oak trees. It has a unique free draining soil made up of crushed Greywacke rock that has fallen from the steep hill behind it.
The fruit is hand-picked, hand sorted then whole bunch pressed. A proportion of juice is fermented on skins. Fermentation begins naturally (without inoculation) the juice is fermented in French oak vessels. After fermentation the wine is aged in French oak barrels on yeast lees for 10 months.
Sweet and fragrant with rock melon, nectarine and mandarin peel on the nose. Lifted notes of dry herbs, lime leaf, supplemented by complex aromas of nougat and toasted almond.
This wine displays tension and great length. The palate is tight and fresh,
supported with a dense fruit weight and underlying chalky minerality providing
linear structure. The mouthfeel is intense and yet seamless and balanced.
