'08 Arlington Sauvignon Blanc

Our new range of Australian monovarietals from Vince Littores’s three generation family vineyard, Arlington Estate, are aimed to provide the most natural, appealing fruit driven flavours truly representative of Australian wines. Already with an unrivalled reputation internationally they are totally exclusive online to Vin Vino Direct and are the perfect choice to delight the most dedicated Australian wine drinker. Each terroir is represented by a different animal on the label reflecting the unique wildlife that inhabits the nearby river and bush land of the vineyards.

The wine featured here is the sublime 2008 Sauvignon Blanc from our Arlington collection.

Tasting Notes: Light silver colour, aromas of green apples and citrus – a touch of gooseberry, with a good fresh and crisp body.

Winemaker’s Notes: Selected parcels of fruit were harvested in excellent condition and gently pressed to retain the aromatic characters for which Sauvignon Blanc is renowned. The highly clarified juice was then inoculated with yeasts that were selected for their ability to retain these aromas in the finished wine.

This range of wines start from only £7.00 (was £7.50), making them a fantastic price for a quality wine which can only be bought from Vin Vino Direct.

Moorabool Valley

The Region: The Moorabool Valley represents one of Australia’s finest cool climate wine regions with a fast growing reputation for boutique wineries producing premium hand crafted wines.  Family owned and operated wineries dominate the Valley giving visitors the opportunity to meet with the people who tend the vines and produce the wide range of classic and alternative wines on offer.
With a history extending back to 1842, Swiss immigrants chose the Moorabool Valley to plant some of Victoria’s earliest vines. Decimated by the Phylloxera virus in the late 1800′s, the Valley’s renaissance began in the 1960′s with new plantings at Idyll Vineyard and Del Rios of Anakie.Today, a small band of passionate winemakers embrace the challenge of producing superior cool climate wines from the tough limestone and basalt base which forms this region’s unique terroir.
Nestled between Geelong & Ballarat, the Moorabool Valley’s small, family run vineyards provide rich and intense low yield fruit, perfect for crafting into award winning wines….
