Noble Hill Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc is currently the oldest planted grape variety at Noble Hill. These 30 year old vines grow at the highest elevation on the estate. Cool maritime air flows constantly here and gives this lighthearted wine aromas of green apple and gooseberry.

Our Sauvignon Blanc is all about retaining the light, refreshing, and ultimately elusive flavours contained in the grapes‰Ûª skins. We aim for a light extraction before pressing, keeping the juice on the skins for a few extra minutes before going to tank. After fermentation in tank, our Sauvignon Blanc gains body and weight through extended lees contact (3-6 months).

In 2017 our Sauvignon Blanc has a delicate aroma eliciting gooseberry, green apple, and coriander leaf. The wine tastes cool and juicy with a crisp natural acidity. The finish is elegant and balanced: perfect for seafood, delicate flavours, or as an ap̩ritif!
