Tasting notes from the winery for No Evil Organic Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Summary: The See, Hear, Speak No Evil Organic wines are sourced from fully certified Organic vineyards and made using minimal additions. The wines are Organic, Vegan friendly and made to EU guidelines for minimal preservatives (less than 30ppm Free Sulphur). A new benchmark in affordable Organic Wines.

Winemaking: Sourced from a vineyard at 350m in altitude. Hand picked into small bins and chilled before transportation to the winery, A very fast and precise vinification with a cool fermentation in stainless steel before extended maturation on lees to build texture and complexity. A small amount of Viognier was added for aromatic complexity.

2020 Vintage: 2020 had its challenges with a dry start and only a small portion of rain and with much of the country suffering drought conditions. The warm dry spell continued in December with some extreme hot temperature days recorded. Thankfully due to one of the coolest January’s on record the vines were able to re-address the balance. It was a late ripening year and yields were down but despite the challenges it will be another excellent vintage across South Australia.

Tasting Note: Pale in colour with slight green hues. Fresh and delicate nose with restrained floral and trademark gooseberry aromas aiding complexity as well as wet-stone and white apple notes. The palate displays vital lime, citrus and passionfruit flavours underpinned by a fine mineral acid backbone. Nicely restrained and poised version of Sauvignon Blanc that would pair brilliantly with a Goat’s cheese salad.
