Tasting Notes

The Foundstone Semillon Sauvignon Blanc displays dominant aromas of freshly squeezed lime and grassy notes while underlying hints of crisp capsicum are also evident. The palate is soft with sweet lemon and lime flavours while hints of snow pea add a savoury aspect to the palate which flows into a long and crisp finish.

Technical Notes

In the vineyard a warm dry summer provided a clean and disease free vintage with great ripening conditions across all regions. Despite some hot days, extended heat waves didn’t play a role through the growing season with little berry shrivel occurrence in white varieties. No rain during harvest meant we were able to pick our whites at optimal baume and fruit ripeness.

The Sauvignon Blanc was harvested in the cool of the night, and crushed, destemmed, chilled and pressed immediately. The resultant juice from pressing is clarified before a slow fermentation at cool temperatures of 14 – 16C using a carefully selected yeast to optimise varietal expression. The cooler temperatures help to retain the fresh and light Sauvignon Blanc aromas and flavours. After fermentation the wine is filtered and blended for bottling as quickly as possible to maintain freshness.
