#savignon blanc

[stumblngrumbl]

trying a taste of the amber wine we made last fall from the sav blanc grapes

things to note:

i don't know the wine snob words but

i do know it's super young yet

lots of malic acid will mellow very gradually i don't think there's so much that it needs to be inoculated with a culture for MLF

definitely doesn't taste anything like a white sav blanc unsurprisingly

very rich and full, somewhat reminiscent of a madiera

a bit of sweetness apparent still behind the malic acid; fermentation is definitely over so we likely maxed out the yeast (lalvin qa23) - probably about 15-16% abv

this one will cellar well

probably bottle it before the summer heat and have an occasionally 375ml of it and then maybe in 2030 it'll be ready lol

(see my #amber wine tag for more about this adventure)

Mostanában egyre jobban kezdem megszeretni a savignont. Ez a verzio meg egy remek, de nem tökéletes, ennek ellenére ajánlandó és keresendő

Wine Tasting avec Papa xx

Wine Tasting at the Tate,

One sip here one sip there, 

Red, White, Australian flare,

Flavours savoured in one's mouth,

Just enough to feel it sprout,

Like a ripple flowing down a river,

Wine trickles down the throat,

100 Best Aussie Wines,

My favourite from a very rare vine, 

Sauvignon Blanc of so fine,

Never wanting to leave my mind, 

Off we spin into the night,

Beautiful tastes all in sight. X
