Tasting Notes
Cape Campbell Sauvignon Blanc 2009
Outstandingly ripe fruit from our own unique Blind River vineyards was blended with rich Wairau Valley fruit to create a Sauvignon Blanc of full flavour and finesse. Each parcel of fruit provided a different characteristic to the final wine and was therefore fermented separately before being blended.
Palate:
Intensely seductive aromas of passionfruit, blackcurrant and cut herbs lead to a palate that is mouth filling, fresh and well-balanced, with a firm, mineral-edged finish.
Ageing Potential:
Antipasto, grilled vegetables or fresh seafood would all enhance the abundant flavours of this vibrant wine. Enjoy by 2011.
Wine Making:
Efficient handling from vineyard to winery and a process of cool ferments in stainless steel ensured that the grape’s natural invigorating freshness and exceptional character were maintained through to bottling.

Matt Thomson and Alana McGettigan
