Fairview Darling Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Pale yellow with a green tinge in the glass. Aromas of ripe figs, ruby grapefruit, passion fruit and lime sorbet on the nose. Layers of rich tropical fruit and citrus flavours with zesty acidity on the palate, contributes to a lingering fresh finish.

The grapes were machine harvested early in the morning, arriving at the cellar before sunrise. Whole berries were gently pressed, after which the juice was settled for 48 hours and then racked into stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Conditions during fermentation were managed to preserve and accentuate the tropical “thiolic” profile inherent to the cultivar. The wine was left on its fine lees after fermentation, prior to blending, stabilization and bottling.
