Lismore Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc 2015

Aprašymas

Vynuogynai auga 'Sonderend' kalnų pietrytiniame šlaite, 320 metrų aukštyje virš jūros lygio. Skalūno ir molio dirvožemyje augantys vynmedžiai nėra papildomai drėkinami. 

Vynuogių sultys fermentuojamos atvirose naudotose ąžuolo statinėse, papildomai nepridedant kultūrinių mielių. Toliau vynas brandinamas 11 mėn. kartu su mielėmis.

Vynas kvepia pasiflorų vaisių, gvajava, žoliškais aromatais, kuriuos papildo dūmo natos. Burnoje vynas pilno kūno, klampesnės tekstūros. Juntama gaivi rūgštis, daugiau žoliški, nei citrusiniai vaisiai. 

Daugiau informacijos apie vyną galite rasti Jancis Robinson (Julia Harding MW) straipsnyje.

Vertinimas

Vinous
Pale, bright straw-yellow. Pungent, fruit-driven aromas of gooseberry, passion fruit and tangerine, complicated by a subtle leesy quality, some charred oak and hints of dusty herbs. Supple and intense, with lovely juicy, mineral-driven acidity enlivening the wines ripe citrus and tropical fruit flavors and extending the finish. Offers a sexy combination of sweet, pliant and energetic, leaving the mouth feeling refreshed. Very distinctive, flavorful Sauvignon Blanc. Įvertinimas: 90

Jancis Robinson
Smoky and lightly reductive. Herbal, fumy and enticing. There are hints of Sauvignon in guava and passion fruit but they are very much in the background and I am not sure I would have identified this as Sauvignon if I had tasted it blind. This is gorgeous, has all the complexity of barrel-fermented Sauvignon and the freshness of an unoaked wine. More herbal than citrus, more complex than most Sauvignons, even than most barrel-fermented versions, the rich, almost chewy texture being as important as the flavour. Wild, herbal and fresh length. Rich yet precise with that contrapuntal freshness. Superb wine. Įvertinimas: 17,5 (20)

Made in an oxidative manner and matured in used barrels (apart from one), the 2015 Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc has a lifted bouquet with fresh pear and gooseberry scents, the barrel component neatly assimilated and barely noticeable. The palate is well balanced with a smooth texture, here that edgy oxidative note neatly counterbalances the oily texture with a vein of lemongrass on the finish. This is excellent. Įvertinimas: 91
