2011 Witches Falls Granite Belt Co-inoculated Sauvignon blanc

The label tells us that the Australian Wine Research Institute  studied fermentation  'co-inoculated" with more than  one strain of yeast'. These showed that sav blanc  had 'a signicantly modified  chemical aroma profile and a potentially enhanced aroma  profile, relative to single  yeast ferments and belended wines'. Witches Falls co-inculated their 2011 sav blanc. It is a very beautiful, elegant subtle pale gold in colour that almost has pink in it. It's very perfumed, like a classic sav blanc, with pine, sharp passion-fruit, musk and even pistachio. It has considerable length with a middle to back palate, astringent and fruity. In flavour it has some celery, peach, apricot and even some mustard. It's a classic summery wine, beautifully balanced and structured. It would go well with cheese and fruit as appetisers.
