Tasting- Coldstream Hills Sauvignon Blanc




Name: Coldstream Hills Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Yarra Valley
Country: Australia
Year: 2009

Wine Producer Review: "Coldstream Hills Sauvignon Blanc is sourced mainly from vineyards in the cool Upper Yarra. The wine is predominantly fermented in stainless steel, with a small percentage barrel fermented in older French oak - in some years, a percentage of Semillon is blended to add texture. Best consumed when young and fresh." ColdtreamHills.com

My Review: The smell of the Sauvignon Blanc was that it smells tangy, mostly hints of orange were present initially. The next sniff I took gave off a peach smell to it. The tastes given off were tangy as well as peachy and was very crisp and clean to me. I really liked the aftertaste in particular, very crisp, a light bodied wine, and was probably one of the best whites I had tried that day.

This wine was not tried with food.
