Mount Fishtail Sur Lie Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Winery: Mt. Fishtail
Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc
UPC Code: 8 58441 00642 2
Tasting Notes:

Exuding fabulous aromas of crunchy apple, kiwifruit, passionfruit, and lemon peel, this wine delivers a flavoursome palate with excellent fruit power and persistence. Notes of capsicum, guava, and pineapple add complexity, while a refreshing acidity and creamy, bready undertones from Sur Lie aging provide balance and texture.

Awards, Reviews, And Other Notes:

“A classic, minerally-fresh style with ripe apple, angelica and pineapple characters. Mouth-watering acidity and satin texture on the palate.”
94 Points – Decanter

91 Points – James Suckling

“A complex white with notes of lemon curd, grilled pineapple, Key lime and lemon sage, plus a touch of passion fruit, all on a sleek and smooth frame with a fresh refreshing finish.”
90 Points – Wine Spectator

Winemaker Notes:

We harvested in the cool morning, and then we gently pressed the grapes, cold settled, and slowly fermented the juice in stainless steel tanks. We then kept the wine on its lees for six months to enrich the mid-palate and add weight and textural complexity.
