Dombeya Sauvignon Blanc 2011
tasting notes
Winemaker's comments:
The 2011 vintage was a tricky one for Sauvignon Blanc. The heat waves we experienced in the first week of January made it hard to retain the best flavor for production of quality wine, but with clever vineyard monitoring we manage to pick the grapes at their optimum best flavor. As mentioned, the vintage was hot and tended to push the flavor more toward tropical rather than grassy. Higher alcohols can also be expected. 

Tasting note:
The wine's nose shows flavour of passion fruit, guavas and wet stones. The palate is full bodied and very minerally with lingering flavours of passionfruit, pineapples and ripe figs and ends in a balanced fruit acid aftertaste.
