Lady A Sauvignon Blanc

Lady A Sauvignon Blanc is grown in a single hectare block of the estate Stoney Vineyard, planted in 1991 in Tasmania's cool Coal River Valley.

Lady A was created by Peter Althaus in secret as a present for Lady A, Domaine A's co-founder Ruth Althaus. It is made in small batches, with a vinification regime inspired by the celebrated oaked Sauvignon Blancs of Bordeaux.

The grapes ferment in 100 per cent new French oak barrels. The wine matures for 12 months in barrel on fine lees. It is bottled unfined and unfiltered, spending a further two years in bottle before release.

Pale gold, Domaine A Lady A Sauvignon Blanc Bright has bright citrus flavours interweaving with subtle oak and natural acid drive.

A wine with striking fruit purity. Cellaring potential is seven years.
