Ravensong 2010
This wine is a blend of Semillon (60%) and Sauvignon Blanc (40%) from the Hunter Valley. Both varieties were machine harvested in the cool of the night and handled separately. The grapes were de-stemmed and crushed and pressed lightly to avoid phenolic pickup in the juice and allowed to cold settle for a period of three days. The juice was then filtered and inoculated with a neutral yeast strain to allow the fruit characters to shine through. Fermentation was carried out in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 13 deg C. After fermentation the wines were lightly fined, and stabilized before blending trials to determine the final make-up of the wine. Final acid additions were made before the wine was bottled in late May 2010 in antique green claret bottles with a Stelvin finish.
Tasting Notes
“This wine is pale green straw in colour and exhibits lifted guava, kiwifruit and passionfruit aromas with a hint of grassiness. The palate shows fresh tropical fruit salad flavours with a touch of citrus and possesses a refined acid and fruit finish. Perfect as an aperitif, this wine will also complement seafood and white meat dishes.”
