Sauvignon Blanc - Back Vintages

2005 Sauvignon Blanc

2005 produced wines with intense flavour, this Sauvignon Blanc not only has a characteristic gooseberry nose, but the palate is full and long with beautiful passionfruit and citrus flavours. The acid is well balanced to compliment the fruit, which gives a lingering aftertaste. As with all Leabrook Estate wines, this wine is made to compliment food especially. This is achieved by winemaking methods akin to those of white Bordeaux, extracting stronger flavours and aromas providing a full and complex palate and long aftertaste that will compliment many dishes, compared with the apertif, lighter sauvignon blanc style wines.

2002 Sauvignon Blanc

This brilliantly bright young wine has been picked at optimum ripeness to produce a wine with full fruit flavour and palate. It has sweet fruit aromas and characteristic Sauvignon hints of melon and hessian. On the palate flavours of pears, passionfruit and apples predominate with just the right balance of acidity to carry through to lingering after tastes. The wine is well suited to entrée food dishes, or on its own when more chilled.
