Tasting Notes for Katnook Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2006 75cl:
One of Australia's finest Sauvignon Blancs with classic gooseberry, greengage and green apple fruit and racy, zesty acidity. A subtle, more tropical note reflects the warmth of the 2006 vintage.
Producer Information:
Katnook Estate is one of the heroes of Coonawarra - a small, cool climate area in South Australia famed for its exceptional Cabernet and Merlot. The name Katnook is taken from a local Aboriginal word meaning 'fat land' and vines have been planted on the site since the 19th Century. It took until 1980, however, and the arrival of Wayne Stehbens for the wines to be launched under the Katnook label. 27 vintages on, Wayne is still in charge and has built the winery up into one of Australia's most respected, twice winning the Jimmy Watson trophy for best Aussie red. As well as the Bordeaux grapes, Wayne is a master of white wine too and the Sauvignon Blancs are particularly good with a dry, zesty, minerally style quite unique in Oz.

Regional Info
Coonwarra is one of South Australia's coolest wine growing regions and is famous for elegant, well-balnced reds and crisp, dry whites. 2006 Coonawarra vintage will be remembered as being very early and for the very low yields. Slightly above average temperatures prevailed during summer and extended into the ripening. The ideal conditions produced grapes that were disease free and in excellent condition.
Vinification Details
The grapes are gently crushed and fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel. No oak is used at any point.
