Fermentation is long and cool, generally three weeks between 10–12°C, to retain sincere aromatic and flavour expression. Typical Pyrenees Sauvignon character is exhibited with its long lingering flavour length, allowing it to be paired with more robust food fare than is the norm for this wine variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOOD PAIRING:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAsian greens, tempura, oysters au naturel, salt and pepper calamari, sashimi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINTAGE NOTES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCool conditions in early spring led into a warm and dry period for flowering, producing a balanced crop load across all varieties. A warm dry summer subsided into a prolonged cool autumn, and the extended 2022 growing season created optimum ripening conditions for full flavour development prior to a slightly later harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mount Avoca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68097534623893,"sku":null,"price":160.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1084\/5922\/files\/Moates_Lane_Sauvignon_Blanc_Dozen_BF_2026_64df09fe-b3e5-4e64-afbb-3c91d6faa10f.png?v=1793254810","url":"https:\/\/mountavoca.com\/products\/bf26-moates-lane-2024-sauvignon-blanc-dozen","provider":"Mount Avoca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
