Hewitson LuLu Sauvignon Blanc 2012

Adelaide Hills, South Australia   |    750ml   |    12.5%
Founded in 1998, Hewitson is recognised for its world-class wine from the historic, dry-grown vineyards in the Adelaide Super Zone, encompassing Barossa Valley, Eden Valley, Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale. Each unique wine created by Dean Hewitson is crafted to reflect true varietal character and regional purity.

The Hewitson Lulu Sauvignon Blanc is always a leading example of Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc, the 2012 vintage is dry, crisp with plenty of citrus, pear and orange blossom flavours.

"A cracking white wine for what remains of summer from a top vintage in one of Australia's best regions for sauvignon blanc. This has drinkability plus; it is refreshing, crisp and lively with vibrant fruit flavours edging towards citrus over tropical fruit and delicious natural acidity on the finish. Just 11.5 per cent alcohol here, but no shortage of flavour. A fantastic partner for fresh oysters, or simply as a late afternoon aperitif." - Winsor Dobbin, February 2013.

"92 points. A vibrant and lively Adelaide Hills white that offers plenty of sauvignon s ripe lime and passionfruit aromas; very fresh, mouthwatering. The palate s bright and crisp, with a grassy thread through fleshy, sweet tropical melon and passionfruit flavours, and really juicy through the finish."- Nick Stock, The Good Wine Guide 2013.

"Smells of good sauvignon blanc, touch quartz-minerally, alpine herbs, something grassy, faint passionfruit - a frisky thing from the approach. Watery textured to taste, but light, delicate flavours can be ok with the variety - it supports a dash of tropical fruit, lick of green phenolic chalkiness and a mellow, slippery texture through mid-palate to finish. Clean, fresh, good and very easy to drink. Doesn’t do much cerebrally, but sometimes you just have to tee up and slog it to cow corner. Rated: 90 Points Tasted: Nov 12. Alcohol: 12.5% Price: $20 Closure: Screwcap Drink: 2012 - 2013" - Mike Bennie, The Wine Front.

Hewitson was founded in 1998 by winemaker Dean Hewitson's driving passion to produce uniquely expressive wines from the great vineyards of South Australia's famous wine regions. These regions are the Barossa Valley, Eden Valley, McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills. They are home to some of Australia's, and indeed the world's, oldest and most treasured vineyards, many of them planted pre-phylloxera and more closely linked to the original vines of Europe than anywhere else in the world.

The 2012 growing season and ripening period was as close to perfection as one could wish. The summer was relatively cool with sporadic rain showers keeping the vines in a naturally healthy state although a small crop. The natural acidity and pH has provided the platform for terrific balance and freshness. No acid has been added at any stage of production. After a cool fermentation, the wine settled and was then cold-filtered before bottling in early May, three months after harvesting. 2012 LuLu Sauvignon Blanc showcases the vibrancy of this variety with our single vineyard expression and racy acidity. This wine illustrates our belief that great wine is expression of single vineyard and vintage. - Hewitson Wines.
