Longview 'Whippet' Sauvignon Blanc 2011

Adelaide Hills, South Australia   |    750ml   |    10.5%
South Australia's Adelaide Hills is arguably Australlia's leading Sauvignon Blanc region and Longview consistently produce one of the finest examples.

A gold medal winner at the 2011 Royal Queensland Wine Show, the 2011 Longview Whippet Sauvignon Blanc displays all the hallmarks of fine, cool-climate Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc.

"92 Points. Pale quartz; a lively, crisp and crunchy sauvignon, with vibrant citrus, apple, gooseberry and acidity all in play; very good length. Drink By: 2012 Price: $18.00 Date Tasted: 11 Nov 2011 Alcohol: 10.5%" - James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au.

"The star of a tough vintage at Longview is a perfumed and honed Sauvignon of lifted citrus blossom and exotic frangipane fragrance. It's taut and fresh, supported by tight Hills acidity" - Tyson Stelzer, Wine 100, January 2012.
Gold - 2011 Royal Queensland Wine Show

Whippet Sauvignon Blanc is sourced entirely from Longview Vineyard in Macclesfield, Adelaide Hills. The fruit was hand-picked in early am, chilled to 10°C, the juice separated and skins pressed. Bentonite fining ensures a bright finish. The 2011 vintage was very cool and we started to see amazing flavours in the fruit even at low sugar levels. Picking this Sauvignon Blanc before a series of rain events proved to be a master stroke and the wine displays aromas of fresh cutgrass, asparagus, honeysuckle, white flowers and lemon. The palate displays refreshing melon, gooseberry and nettle characters and finishes with incredible mouth-watering acidity." - Longview Wines
