Brokenwood Cricket Pitch White 750mL

Description

Lovely pale yellow colour with green tints. Lifted Sauvignon Blanc aromas with green fruit, citrus pith and florals in the background. Initial flavours of citrus and melon, light cool palate at 11.5% alcohol. Grapefruit, finger lime and a zesty acidity adds to the structure. A perfect summer drink paired with a wide range of food. 

We’re quite proud to introduce this wine, the 33rd vintage of the blend. The label didn’t get the full Cricket Pitch livery until the 1995 vintage, although the Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot was labelled as Cricket Pitch for the 1991 vintage. This wine is a blend of 81% Sauvignon Blanc and 19% Semillon. Due to the late vintage in the eastern states, multiple South Eastern Australian growing regions make up this blend, with the majority from New South Wales and South Australia. This wine also highlights our desire for lower alcohol and weighs in at 11.5% and with plenty of zesty fruit lift. 

We are fortunate enough to be able to process almost all of the grapes here in the Hunter Valley, enabling an extra level of winemaker attention. This ensures the delicate grape aromas are preserved. Fermentation in 100% stainless steel tanks.
