Bay of Fires Sauvignon Blanc 2011
With a Sancerre-like pungency, a powerful snap pea-like herbaceousness and a faint sweatiness, this intense young wine reveals penetrative aromas of passionfruit, lychees, cassis and gooseberries backed by funky notes of iodine and brine. Piercing and pristine, long and chalky, its fine, steely palate finishes with briny, nettle-like notes and a tightly focused acidity.

Bay of Fires
Bay of Fires is an exceptional brand of finely crafted wines of individual style and quality which tend towards more complex, savoury and European expressions with arresting perfumes and delicate palate structures. While the current releases are a little below their established standard, the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc are typically amongst the finest of their kind in Tasmania. Depending on the season, these wines are sourced from up and down the State.
