2009 BLANC DE MER

 2009 BLANC DE MER




Once again dominated by true Rhine Riesling (39%). Living up to its elevated status of celebrated 2008 vintage fame, this next vintage of Blanc de Mer is a winemaker’s challenge.  Fortunately weather conditions cast a magic spell over vintage 2009 where near perfect grapes were produced in all departments. The result is an action packed composition of varieties ready to claim every bit of the magic attributed to the 2008 which was Stephen Spurrier’s choice of best New World White in Decanter Wine Magazine May 2009.
 
This blend varies from year to year but it is similar to 2007 where Riesling comprised
39 %.  Next is Viognier at 28 %, Chardonnay 13 %, Chenin Blanc 9 %, Sauvignon Blanc 8 % and Semillon at 3 %.
 
A Rich vintage offering a medley of flavours covering a symphony of fruits such as quince, gooseberry, peach and orange blossom.  It is rich and inviting and ideal for relaxed occasions, especially during warm summer days!
