DORING BAY SAUVIGNON BLANC 2022

Our Sauvignon Blanc must shout at you! “Fresh, Crisp, Steely, Grassy,Ripe, Tangy, Tropical Fruit – Please enjoy me now!” We think it does!All the hallmarks of our unique west coast style of cool climate Sauvignon Blanc coming from the cold sea mists off the South Atlantic.

The 2021 harvest was one of those standout years for growing Sauvignon Blanc grapes, a vintage to savour. It was marked by cool days with the ever-present sea mist rolling in from the cold Atlantic Ocean, wrapping the West Coast vineyards in a protective cloak. This led to optimal long and even ripening, with harvest starting 2 weeks later than normal. The final ripening was quick and the healthy, flavourful grapes were picked at perfect sugar levels over a period of one week.

Harvest of the grapes was in the early morning hours to retain purity and freshness before being crushed and the juice transferred to temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks for fermentation.
