Moates Lane 2021 Sauvignon Blanc

Clear, bright straw.

Freshly cut gooseberry, melon and hints of and lemon grass.

Sun kissed pineapple, passion fruit and melon with a sofy fruity mid-palate and clean lemon sherbert finish.

The wine is an assembly of free run juice harvest several Loire clones. Fermentation is long and cool being generally three weeks between 10-12°C to retain sincere aromatic and flavour expression. Typical Pyrenees Sauvignon character exhibited with its long lingering flavour length affording it to be paired with more robust food faire than is the norm for this wine variety.

Asian greens, tempura, oysters au naturel, salt and pepper calamari, sashimi

Consistent winter rains and a mild spring created a perfect growing season and optimal vine health, progressing to a cooler than normal growing season with well placed summer rains.
