Sheep Shape Sauvignon Blanc 2022 (Riverina & Victoria)

Choosing the right wine can be like sailing the high seas without a compass. Sheep Shape wines are delicious and of course... well balanced. For smooth sailing enjoy this with your crew.

Fruit for the 2022 vintage was sourced from some of the oldest low cropping Riverina blocks were blended with fruit from the King Valley & Yarra Valley. Ideal climates for growing premium Sauvignon Blanc.

Following good rains during winter, good soil moisture along with warm Spring days leading into the 2021 vintage allowed the vines to enjoy a good growing season with crops returning to an average size. Relatively mild summer temperatures enabled the fruit to retain higher than normal acidity and freshness of flavour. Harvest began mid-January for the white grapes, with red grapes starting a month later and all Riverina fruit harvested prior to the end of March. Good yields and very good quality.

Wine making techniques included fermentation at elevated temperatures and fermentation with solids. These techniques improve texture and softness without sacrificing varietal expression. Wine was left on yeast lees 'Sur lie' for 3 months prior to blending. Winery Notes
