Thelema Sutherland Sauvignon Blanc 2005

Bin No. TMVSSB05

Price: £12.00

This is the first vintage harvested from Thelema's new vineyards in Elgin, which over the past few years have demonstrated their ideal climatic conditions for producing premium quality Sauvignon Blanc. The vines were planted in 2002 on Hutton (decomposed granite) soils at a density of 3200 vines per ha. Vineyard practices include vertical hedge trellising and pruning the spurs of the vine to 2 buds every 15 cms, irrigation is by supplementary drip. Harvesting took place by hand from 11th to 17th February and yielded 5t/ha. The grapes were de-stalked, crushed and pressed before cold settling and racking from the gross lees. A cool fermentation followed at 14 degrees C and the wine was allowed a period of ageing in steel before bottling and release.
The wine is pale gold in colour with youthful flashes of lime green, the nose is aromatic with pungent 'green' aromas of bell pepper and fresh crushed herbs. On the palate the wine is medium bodied and dry with a mouth-watering streak of minerals, hints of sub-tropical fruit and a layer of grassy gooseberry flavours that merge sublimely with the limey, crisp finish.

The name Dog Point is derived from the scrub covered hill, overlooking the Wairau Plains, designated by the early European settlers as a place where shepherds’ dogs who had got lost, or wandered off, took refuge. They
