Sidewood Pinot Blanc 2017

Sidewood Estate

Dégustation de vigneron

A warm wet spring led into the 2017 vintage requiring careful canopy management. Yielded at 8MT per ha. Hand picked, and whole bunch pressed, extracted at a low 50%.100% wild yeast barrel fermented for 8 months in older French oak, minimum 3 years allowing extended time on lees. Aromas of citrus and florals lead to a beautifully lifted palate of Nashi pear, grapefruit and lime. A complex, textural wine with smoky minerality and a long, crisp finish. A versatile option for matching with shellfish, white meat and Asian dishes. Limited production of only 2498 bottles.
