Woodside | Sauvignon Blanc

Ben has quite a long connection with Sauvignon Blanc, from working with the variety in Bordeaux in 1986 to producing it while working as head wine maker at Wirra Wirra from 1988-2001. He has always thought the flavour profile was incredible and here we are with our own Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc.
The Adelaide Hills is one of the largest geographical wine regions in Australia, its diversity in terms of altitude, climate and soil helps to produce its distinctive cool climate wines. The fruit is sourced from five different sites on the one vineyard, some parts are lower lying and colder than other parts of the block which allows for variance in the flavour. The fruit for the Woodside Sauvignon Blanc was machine harvested in the early hours of the morning, it is crushed and free run with no pressings, the juice is then clarified with two aromatic yeast strains. The wine spends a short time on lees until filtration and then bottling.
