2008 MANGAN VINEYARD SAUVIGNON BLANC SEMILLON

Cullen
Wines varies the ratio of Sauvignon Blanc to Semillon in a given vintage
according to how these varieties perform in that vintage. Thus, as the
Sauvignon Blanc was so outstanding in 2005 and 2006, we decided that it
should comprise the vast majority of this classic blend in this year.

 
 
     
Tasting notes   Reviews
     

This
delicious and elegant wine provides an excellent complement to the
more powerful, but likewise excellent Sauvignon Blanc Semillon made
from fruit produced on the Cullen Vineyards (see above).

The wine was made from 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon, with
the grapes being picked at Baumés of about 11°, when
they had already retained perfect physiological ripeness. Twenty
eight percent was fermented in French oak using indigenous yeasts.
The wine was matured for four months in that oak and then blended
with the other 72% of the wine and bottled.

Colour: Brilliant light straw
Bouquet: Delightful combination
of fresh and clean lemon and fresh cut grass aromas
Palate: Elegant and crisp,
combining intense lime and lemon flavours. Delicious!.
Cellaring: 5 to 10 years
Food: Crustaceans, oysters, fish and mild Asian
food
