Lion Hounds Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Viticulture There are 2 varieties used in this expressive wine:
Sauvignon Blanc 92%
Viognier 8%

HARVEST: All grapes were handpicked at vine ripeness

WINEMAKING:
Rich, expressive Paarl Viognier and low yielding tropical Sauvignon Blanc were hand selected and night harvested to preserve the delicate flavours typical to Paarl Mountain.
The Sauvignon Blanc was fermented in stainless steel tanks and ferment lasted 21 days at 14- 16C whilst the Viognier was barrel fermented. The initial ferment started naturally and after 3 degrees Balling a commercial yeast strain was inoculated to ensure that the ferment ran to dryness. Ferment lasted for 15 days at 18 0 C.
Both varieties are fermented in a manner which retains their natural cultivar characteristics and are then combined for complexity in an elegantly juicy blend.
The wine was lightly filtered prior to bottling.

TASTING NOTES: An upfront, tropical array of juicy white peach, pineapple and orange blossom with a hint of citrus.
