Coates The Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Light straw in colour, the nose shows restrained passion fruit accents accompanied by banana and a hint of stone fruit. A lithe palate with plenty of citrus zing with guava and subtle toast notes leading into a long, crisp finish.

The fruit was given minimal skin contact and pressed using a closed tank press to yield the softest fruit characters. Post press the juice was racked to barrel to remove coarse solids. The Sauvignon juice was natural yeast fermented with fine solids in 15% new and the balance seasoned French oak barrels then aged on lees for ten months.
