Bream Creek Sauvignon Blanc 2008
|
NOTES
Overlooking the breathtaking seascape of Marion Bay and Maria Island in South Eastern Tasmania, Bream Creek is one of the first commercial vineyards planted in Tasmania. The original consortium in 1973 planted 5 hectare of vines consisting mainly of Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon, with some Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Gewurztraminer.
Marion Bay is steeped with history. The vineyard overlooks where Abel Tasman first landed in 1642, raised the Dutch flag and went ashore to also collect water. Later in 1772 French Navigator Marion du Fresne anchored his ships Mascarin and Castries in what is now known as Marion Bay.
TASTING NOTES
A great example of cool climate Sauvignon Blanc. The nose shines through with heaps of tropical characters, gooseberry, passionfruit and lime. The palate is lively, full flavoured and persistent with a refreshing and zesty finish.
REVIEWS
An aromatic, flowery bouquet; passionfruit/tropical fruit neatly tied up by good acidity, and a grassy note on the finish. Trophy and gold medal Hobart International Wine Show '08. Screwcap.12.5% alc. Rating 94 James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2010
