Rock Ferry Brookby Springs Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Accolades:
94/100 – Cameron Douglas MS

“An attractive bouquet, very expressive with a core of ripe pure fruit scents, citrus and apple, some peach then lees an minerality along with a light saline quality. Youthful, fresh and complex. Delicious on the palate with a core of linty minerality framing flavours of citrus and fruit spice, lees and apple, citrus peel and a mix of fresh and dried herbs. As the wine becomes ambient the mouthfeel becomes more precise with the acid line driving flavours across the palate. Well made with excellent length and mouthfeel, best drinking from 2025 through 2029.” – Cameron Douglas MS

Tasting Note: A lovely nose of elderflower, fennel, and fresh pineapple.  On the palate a vibrant structure of acidity interlaced with enticing citrus notes and lees influenced cashew-spiced characters.

Winemaking Notes: Hand-picked and whole bunch pressed from our hillside block.  The juice was settled overnight before being racked to a Concrete Egg and seasoned French Oak puncheons where indigenous fermentation occurred.  The wine was aged on lees for 7 months for texture and complexity.  After settling it was lightly filtered before bottling.
