Whitehaven Single Vineyard Block 11 Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Whitehaven’s single vineyard range of wines speak to the importance of terroir in creating unique, premium quality wines, and allow us to showcase outstanding, smaller parcels of fruit identified by our winemakers each vintage. Reflecting the exclusive nature of these wines, each bottle is individually numbered.

We have used a lightweight bottle to lessen this wine’s impact on the environment.

Colour / Appearance: Mid straw yellow with bright clarity.

Aroma / Bouquet: Stonefruit, citrus, herbs, and florals with a background of oak and malolactic ferment derived creaminess.

Palate: Medium bodied and textural with enticing flavours of peach, melon, lemon and dried herbs. The oak influence envelopes the palate with pleasing mouthfeel and texture.

Cellaring: We expect the wine will drink at its optimum in the immediate 5-7 years following Spring 2024. However, the wine has the structure and closure to allow continued development with careful cellaring.

Food Match: Delicious with lemon and herb chicken, goats’ cheeses and smoked or grilled seafood dishes.

Serve: Lightly chilled.
