Not just a summer wine.....
There is no need to leave Sauvignon Blanc out in the cold this winter. Its fresh, crisp fruit driven characters, can been enjoyed anytime of the year. Whilst early drinking (fruit-driven) Sauvignon Blanc still remains the largest selling white varietal wine in the market, subtle use of oak and longer aging before bottle can produce a wine with more subtle fruit characters and mid palate texture.
For the past 10 years Oakdene has produced two contrasting styles of Sauvignon Blanc, from the fresh, fruity and zesty to a food-friendly, lightly oaked European style.
With our Jessica Sauvignon, we’re seeking texture, balance, restrained fruit and a long length of palate, which we achieve through barrel-fermentation and the use of older oak to mature the wine. This style can age, and match a broad range of foods. It was in 2008 that we decided to put a small portion of our sauvignon blanc into French oak, to create something different to the more fruit-driven styles in the market, and it’s now one of our most successful wines.
Oakdene's Sauvignon Blancs are fresh and bright with abundant fruit and they are easy to drink. In general, these wines are also lower in alcohol and pair well with an array of dishes.
There is really never a better time to enjoy these wines!
