Churton Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough (ORGANIC & BIODYNAMIC) 2020 |
Tasting NotesTasting Note:
Vineyard:
Yield control then became a major issue. We are rigorous about this and limit our yields to a maximum of 75hl per ha. This was achieved through green harvesting any part of the vineyards that were over cropped. The summer finished with a flourish with a normal than normal March which led to a very early harvest. We picked the small but perfectly formed crop from our own vineyard on Easter Saturday 22nd March and the balance was harvested by the end of the first week of April. This just underlined to us the advantage of keeping crop loads down as weather conditions seriously deteriorated thereafter. Winemaking:
Other components are treated variously with more hand-picked fruit being fermented in tank and lees aged. We now see the overall benefit of hand picking; it makes up more than 20% of our total blend. It provides finesse, delicacy and poise to our wines. The balance is treated in a more conventional manner: machine picked and clarified to brightness and cool fermented to retain maximum fruit and aroma. Following blending in August the wine was treated very gently with protective handling techniques to retain the freshness and aromatic intensity. It was lightly fined with isinglass and milk then filtered prior to bottling in late September. |
