SAAM Mountain Sauvignon Blanc 2007

A tropical nose with hints of bell pepper. The palate is filled with tropical fig and gooseberry flavours, balanced by crisp acidity. This abundance of flavours persists on the well-structured, mouth-filling palate, staying there to create a long and rich after-taste. The zingy acidity is both refreshing and typical of a Sauvignon Blanc.

This Sauvignon Blanc makes a perfect food match with seafood, lightly flavoured pasta, pizza, risotto, fish or sushi.

in the cellar : The skins and juice were separated as soon as possible after crushing. The juice was chilled to 10° C immediately and left to settle overnight. The following morning the clear juice was racked from the less and inoculated with a dry Saccharomyces yeast. Fermentation proceeded at 10° - 12° C for 21 days until dry. The wine was then sulphured and left on the gross lees for another 4 months to give extra body and elegance. Before bottling the wine was cleared up and filtered.
