Coldstream Hills
Sauvignon Blanc: 2009
White/$7.95
Yarra Valley, Australia
Store Review: Predominantly fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks, with a small portion barrel fermented in older French oak, the wine is blended, bottled and released three to four months after fermentation. The nose shows fragrant gooseberry characters with underlying passionfruit and lychee aromas. Minerally, stalky notes are evident and provide additional complexity. The palate is a fine and elegant style with zesty lemon acidity and length. Varietal characteristics of passionfruit pulp and gooseberry dominate with hints of lemon peel in the background.
My Review: This one smells more sweet than citrusy almost like welches grape juice. The taste, however, is bitter like strong lemon juice which I did not care for.
