Normans Holbrooks Road Fleurieu Sauvignon Blanc 2017

From Normans, the Holbrooks Road Fleurieu Sauvignon Blanc 2017 is a bright, fruit-forward white wine with a pale straw colour and youthful green notes. The nose is filled with pineapple and citrus, layered with subtle hints of gooseberries and passionfruit. On the palate, tropical fruit flavours come through with a dash of lemon and lime zing, finishing with a refreshing touch of natural fruit acidity and a lingering depth of flavour in its youth.

In the winery, the fruit was harvested in the cool of night earlier in the season than usual due to the drier ripening season. It was crushed quickly to separate clear juice from the skins, then fermented cool using a specific yeast for Sauvignon Blanc. The wine was carefully filtered and bottled as soon as possible to help retain its appealing fruit character.
