Barratt Piccadilly Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2019 (RRP $25 WM $21.90)
$21.90
Grapes for this single vineyard wine were hand harvested on March 12 from two small blocks on our Uley vineyard at the northern end of the Piccadilly Valley.
Initial juice analysis showed a Baumé of 11.6 degrees, pH 3.09 and titratable acid of 7.7 g/litre. After crushing and gentle pressing, the juice was fermented to dryness at low temperatures to enhance fresh fruit characters.Following stabilisation in tank, the wine was filtered and bottled on 2nd July 2019. Alcohol 12.5%.
Classically varietal and aromatic, the wine displays citrus, pear, guava, elderflower, herbaceous and faint grassy aromas followed by a generous palate with persistent fruit flavours, minerality and crispness and a spicy, tingling finish from the natural grape acidity.
Generally good conditions in the vineyard during the growing season producing a small but high quality crop. Grapes harvested March 15 and 16 at a Baumé of 12.6 degrees, pH 3.18, titratable acid 7.5 g/litre.
After overnight cooling, the grapes were lightly whole bunch pressed with the juice transferred to tank for settling over 4 days. Clear juice and some solids (grape lees) then transferred to new, second and third use French oak barriques for spontaneous fermentation by indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation induced in 40% of barrels. Matured in oak for 11 months before stabilisation and filtration. Bottled March 4 2019. Alcohol 14.0%.
Still enjoying its youth, this wine is pale straw in colour with citrus, stone fruit, butterscotch, cashews and brioche dominating the nose and palate. Persistence yet freshness are features of the palate. A wine with great cellaring potential.
