Sauvignon Blanc 2011

The 2011 harvest marks the 12th consecutive vintage of Rosily Sauvignon Blanc. Our focussed aim over the last decade has been to produce individual wines with intense regional and varietal definition.

» Tasting Notes

Appearance

Pale with a slight green hue, yet brilliantly bright.

Nose

Impeccably clean, with intense sub district flavours including lemon grass, tropical fruits and herbal notes.

Palate

Refreshing with crisp mineral acidity. Freshly cut grass and gooseberry flavours flourish with hints of melon fruit characters. Subtle partial French oak treatment adds weight and complexity to the palate.

Cellaring

This is a wine we recommend drinking 12 – 15 months from release date.

» Reviews / Awards

"Pale quartz; a touch of oak is perfectly integrated into the seamless palate spanning notes of herb and grass at one end, juicy citrus/tropical at the other; excellent line, length and balance" - 94 points. James Halliday's Top 100, The Weekend Australian Nov 19-20 2011
