d'Arenberg Sauvignon Blanc The Broken FishPlate 2002
Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaPredominantly made from fruit sourced from the cool climate Adelaide Hills, about 15% comes from the winery's Pump Shed Block. This wine takes its name from the so-called fishplates which sit in the bottom of the harvester and collect the falling grapes, which are invariably destroyed as the harvester moves through the steep, v-shaped gullies and sharp mid-row corners of the Pump Shed Block. Look for pungent mineral, bell pepper, passion fruit leaf, grapefruit rind aromas with big kiwi, citrus rind, and canned jalapeno flavours. Fairly rich on the mid-palate and soft and long with good acidity but definitely a cool, more herbaceous style.Tasted: 21 August 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $24.99 | 750ml | Liberty Wine Merchants |
