The Angove Organic Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Angove Organic Sauvignon Blanc is a single vineyard wine made from organically certified grapes from our own Nanya Vineyard, near Paringa, South Australia. Vintage 2019 started normally following a dry, uneventful spring. As harvest progressed this changed and an unprecedented heatwave in early January caused the vines to shut down for a couple of weeks. Adequate water was provided ensuring healthy full canopies and fruit that was unaffected by this extreme weather event. As the weather cooled in February the vines awoke and ripened the fruit to perfection. 2019 was possibly the best we have seen in a decade of farming this vineyard. Picked late at night so the grapes were as cold as possible and then transported to the winery and pressed using modern tank presses. After cold settling the juice was racked to cooled fermentation tanks. Cool fermentation was followed by minimal handling filtration and bottling at the winery.
