2008 Cloudy Bay Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc
2008 Cloudy Bay Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc
|
|
"These days the Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc is usually sourced from 5-6 vineyard parcels of older vines that produce riper (less grassy) fruit. The juice goes through a long, slow ferment in French oak, around 5-10% new and some barrels naturally go through malo-lactic. It spends around 1.5 years in barrel. The 2008 Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc offers intense warm grapefruit, green guava and pineapple notes with hints of cedar and orange blossom. Medium bodied, crisp and concentrated, it reveals a good amount of mid-palate fruit with a long finish." 90+/100 Robert Parkers Wine Advocate.
