Altamont Wine Studio Sauvignon Blanc 2012


Altamont Winery is run by Bendon Keys of BK fame and he takes his fruit from the Adelaide Hills. This winery is trying to produce wines of interest in more of a European style. The winery is located in the old Nepenthe winery in Lenswood but they do not have access to the vines that live at the wineries door step.

This is a mix between natural wine and the more commercial styles as the texture of the wine feel like a box of glycerol but the flavours are your typical guava, snowpeas, asparagus and crystalised vanilla. The length is good with a thickness running through the middle of the palate that leaves a great impression. The best part of the wine is the entry and is well worth a crack just for that.
