Port Phillip Estate is regarded as one of Victoria's leading producers of Sauvignon Blanc. A single site wine, the 2019 Port Phillip Estate Sauvignon is produced from 0.65 hectares of estate vineyard. The fruit was whole bunch pressed and fermented without yeast inoculation in old French oak barriques. Once dry, the wine was left sur lie for several months prior to bottling. The wine was bottled without fining and with minimal filtration.
The result is a vibrant and complex example of Mornington Peninsula Sauvignon Blanc; offering fragrant and punchy aromatics of fresh grapefruit segments leading to hints of tropical fruits (passionfruit and pineapple). Underpinning the fruitier flavours is a dill-like herbaceousness. Similar flavours are found on the long and acid-driven palate, along with a suggestion of flesh from barrel ageing. A crisp, citrus pith edge helps round out the finish.
"Somewhere along the line the label fired the Blanc. Another good release. Well flavoured, succulent and satisfying. Fruits, flowers and stone. Texture too. Recommended. 93 Points Tasted: Nov19 13.5% alc. $27 Screwcap Drink: 2019 - 2022" - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front.
