Maverick Estate Winery Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2014 growing season was one of the warmest since 1998 and 2003 for both heat and length and you can feel it and taste it in this sauvignon. At 13.8 alcohol this is weighty and the fruit is ripe yet not overbearing. Juice was settled and then fermented (15°-16° C) in stainless steel tanks. The press portion was barrel fermented in used French oak. All of it was left on its fine lees for 3 months prior to blending and bottling. Look for classic sauvignon aromatics with ripe almost sweet honey grassy pink grapefruit flavours. It finishes long with a hint of sweetness. Perfect for west coast seafood dishes and or chicken.Tasted: 12 August 2015Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
