Overview
Askerne Sauvignon Blanc 2023 showcases the vibrancy and freshness of the Sauvignon Blanc grape, grown on the lower terraces of Askerne Vineyard. The majority of the wine was cool fermented in stainless steel tanks, using a selection of aromatic yeast strains to enhance the vibrant characteristics of the variety. A 40% barrel ferment component, using only seasoned oak, adds richness and complexity. The blend is further enhanced with 8% Sauvignon Gris, bringing an additional citrus lift to the aromatics. After blending, the wine was aged on light lees to develop texture and depth.
Tasting Notes
This Sauvignon Blanc bursts with bright and vibrant notes of lemon, grapefruit, and guava, intertwined with delicate white blossom florals and a subtle touch of honied sweetness. The palate is textural, with juicy salinity complementing concentrated guava and tangerine flavours. The wine’s vibrant acidity leads to a wonderfully long finish, leaving a salivating sensation that lingers on the tongue. Askerne Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is an elegant expression of the variety, offering both freshness and complexity in every sip.
