Making use of both clones lends interest and complexity to the palate. Care must be taken in the vineyard throughout the season to provide proper sunlight exposure to the fruit to properly develop the intense aromatics, without excessive vegetative character.<BR> <b>Winemaking & Cellar Information</b><BR> Harvesting by hand early in the morning and rushing the fruit to press minimized oxidative breakdown of the aroma components that make Sauvignon Blanc so interesting as a varietal. Light, gentle pressing, and early press cuts were crucial to bringing only the highest quality juice to the fermentor. We utilized both cold fermentation in tank (55&#176; &#8211; 57&#176;F) and barrel fermentation in small stainless steel barrels (~65&#176;F) to develop complimentary aromas and textures. Aged sur-lees for 6 months, with periodic stirring.<BR> <b>Analytical Information</b><BR> Alcohol:13.7%<BR> T.A.:7.43 g/L<BR> pH:3.25<BR> Brix at Harvest:23.1 &#8211; 24.1<BR> <b>Tasting Notes</b> <BR> Definitely New World in style, we are justly proud of this year&#8217;s bottling. Flamboyantly aromatic, showing a whole spectrum of exotic fruit, floral, and fresh herb notes: lime blossom, passion fruit, even lemon-thyme and cut basil. Rich fruitiness and balancing acidity, with layered flavors of kumquat, pineapple and kiwi. </P> <P> <LI>SKU: 1512 </P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Category8" TITLE="Tolosa White Wines">Tolosa White Wines</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product127 TITLE="&lt;b&gt;2006 Tolosa &quot;1772&quot; Chardonnay&lt;/b&gt;"><b>2006 Tolosa "1772" Chardonnay</b></A> -- A sumptuous and voluptuous Chardonnay. 92 Points in Wine Enthusiast. <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product132 TITLE="&lt;b&gt;2006 Tolosa Chardonnay&lt;/b&gt;"><b>2006 Tolosa Chardonnay</b></A> -- Great texture and classic notes of hazelnut. 93 Points & Editor's Choice in Wine Enthusiast. <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product118 TITLE="&lt;b&gt;2007 Tolosa &quot;No Oak&quot; Chardonnay &lt;/b&gt;"><b>2007 Tolosa "No Oak" Chardonnay </b></A> -- A pure expression of Chardonnay! 90 points in Wine Enthusiast. <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product141 TITLE="&lt;b&gt;2008 Tolosa Pinot Gris&lt;/b&gt;"><b>2008 Tolosa Pinot Gris</b></A> -- Very crisp and refreshing! <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product139 TITLE="&lt;b&gt;2008 Tolosa Grenache Blanc&lt;/b&gt;"><b>2008 Tolosa Grenache Blanc</b></A> -- A delcious white wine with great mouth feel! <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product138 TITLE="&lt;b&gt;2008 Tolosa Sauvignon Blanc&lt;/b&gt;"><b>2008 Tolosa Sauvignon Blanc</b></A> -- Great with fresh guacomole! <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product135 TITLE="&lt;b&gt;2008 Tolosa Viognier&lt;/b&gt;"><b>2008 Tolosa Viognier</b></A> -- New Release! <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product42 TITLE="&lt;b&gt;2005 Tolosa Legacy- Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc&lt;/b&gt;"><b>2005 Tolosa Legacy- Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc</b></A> -- This is a 100% estate grown Sauvignon Blanc dessert wine with 13.4% alcohol and 13% residual sugars.<BR> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa/Product140 TITLE="&lt;b&gt;2008 Tolosa Rose Wine&lt;/b&gt;"><b>2008 Tolosa Rose Wine</b></A> -- Great wine for the Summer! </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/tolosa" TITLE="Tolosa Winery Products">Tolosa Winery Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.tolosawinery.com">Tolosa Winery</A> <BR>Tolosa Winery <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
