COAL PIT PROPRIETORS RESERVE SAUVIGNON BLANC 2021

The 2021 vintage at Coal Pit was characterised by extremely high quality fruit and intense concentration. Yields were down due to a significant frost in early Spring, however the remainder of the growing season was favourable with an exceptional Autumn ripening period.

Only made in the best years, this is the third release of our premium Proprietor’s Reserve. This generous and luscious wine is crafted from hand-picked fruit, grown on 25+ year old vines from our elevated single vineyard. Barrel fermentation with regular lees stirring imparts texture and palate weight, beautifully complementing the rich fruit profile.

Delicate aromas of white jasmine, orange blossom and candied lemon and lime peel are underpinned by a creamy texture and integrated flavours of white peach and nectarine. The palate shows an exotic spice note with crushed fennel seed, thyme leaf and a touch of crystalized ginger. Perfectly ripe fruit is balanced by an intense minerality typical of the Coal Pit vineyard, drawing out the length of this refined and elegant wine.
