Knights Bridge Pont De Chevalier Sauvignon Blanc 2022 750ml

WINEMAKING
We night harvest by hand to preserve complex aromas and flavors and for better
control over the fermentation process. The grapes are then sorted and lightly
pressed; the juice is settled completely before beginning a slow fermentation at
cool temperatures. Aging in 60% new French oak provides a framework for the
complex aromas of Sauvignon Musque. The balance is aged in stainless steel to
preserve the freshness of fruit while providing a thread of minerality that is
common to our Knights Bridge Estate Sauvignon Blancs.
TASTING NOTES
Fairview is sourced from a single block of Sauvignon Blanc from our Knights
Bridge Estate Vineyard. Planted to the Musque clone, it delivers fruit with a
delightful array of varietal aromas, superfine texture, and impressive weight. The
2022 vintage is a rich, bold expression reminiscent of a great young white
Bordeaux, with aromas of white fig, linden flower and Meyer lemon. The entry is
expansive on the palate, revealing lemon shortbread, kaffir lime, wildflower honey,
and citrus fruits. Enjoy now through 2035.                                                                                 COOPERAGE 8 months in 60% new French oak,
