Accolades
Oak Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2003: First Place in the Juliet Cullinan Wine Connoisseur's Awards.
Tasting Notes
The 2003 vintage started off with severe hail and wind damage to the new growth, but the rest of the season was the best we have seen in the previous few years. We used a selection of yeasts known to bring out the characteristics of Sauvignon Blanc. The three tanks were blended together after 4 months on the lees. The wine has a pale rich colour. Gooseberry and passion fruit on the nose. Long full-flavoured creamy textured wine, with hints of ripe grapefruit on the finish.
In The Vineyard
Mostly South and South-West facing slopes. Elavation: 320m - 600m
