The Almenkerk Sauvignon Blanc 2018 shows upfront fruity aroma’s of elderflower, gooseberry, passion fruit, white apricot and gunflint; built on natural acidity & a core of minerality. The wine has a rounded mouthfeel & lingering finish due to the extended lees contact.
This wine pairs ideally with oysters, crayfish and fish while its acidity can cut through creamy sauces & cleanse the palate of spicy food.
Will drink youthfully for the next 2-3 years.
After gentle pressing and cold settling, the wine is inoculated with a combination of 5 yeasts and is fermented cold until dryness. After fermentation, the wine undergoes lees contact for 9 weeks on the gross lees and another 6 months on the fine lees with regular stirring.
The wine is left as separate components until final blending in October, when the fermentation esters have blown off and the components can be assessed on their long-term (thiol-based) flavour profile.
