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
