Overview:
The Domain Road Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is a true expression of the exceptional terroir from the historic gold mining region of Bannockburn. Sourced from both Domain Road and Defiance vineyards, located on unique soils with a distinctive micro-climate, this cool-climate wine offers remarkable complexity and balance. The wine is crafted from hand-harvested grapes, with a combination of stainless steel and barrel fermentation enhancing its depth and texture. Pale lemon in colour, this dry-style Sauvignon Blanc delivers a refined mouthfeel, with vibrant acidity and a long, citrus-driven finish that lingers with tropical allure.
Tasting Notes:
The nose is an aromatic symphony of lemon blossom, grapefruit, and gooseberry, enticing the senses with its freshness and vibrancy. On the palate, flavours of passionfruit, guava, and white melon unfold, with a subtle hint of flint adding an intriguing layer of complexity. A full, round mid-palate is balanced by crisp acidity, ensuring the wine remains fresh and lively throughout. The finish is long and layered, with bright citrus and tropical notes that persist, making this Sauvignon Blanc a perfect match for fresh seafood, goat’s cheese, or other light, zesty dishes.
