12x Sacred Hill Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2011
Sacred Hill was inspired by the name given by a local hermit to the low rocky outcrop that overlooks the Riverine plain. The hermit, who now has almost mythical status in the region, inhabited a cave in the hillside for many years. Sacred Hill has won awards at major national and international shows including Best Value awards. Leading wine writers have extolled the exceptional quality and value of this popular brand.
Viticulture - 2011 was a very difficult vintage with some of the largest rainfalls recorded in a growing season. However, the summer ripening period was cooler because of this rainfall. This led to long ripening periods and great flavour and acid balance, rarely seen in the Riverina region.
Winemaking - Select Semillon vineyards from the Riverina are chosen for their fresh citrus notes and combined with Sauvignon Blanc that shows grapefruit and fresh cut grass. Grapes were pressed quickly and cold settled to produce very clean juice for a cool flavour-retaining ferment in stainless steel. Yeasts used were T306 (sem) and VIN7 (sauvy) which aid in varietal expression.
Appearance - Silver straw with green edges.
Bouquet - Clean citrus with herbaceous hints.
Palate - Upfront is a zesty palate of lime and lemon which rounds slightly to passionfruit and gooseberry notes on the lengthy finish.
Suggested Cuisine - Spicy San Choy Bau. Scallops with ginger, chilli and lime.
Cellaring - Drink now for up to 3 years.
General Characteristics - Dry and light bodied.
