Wine Description
The Story
This sauvignon blanc is a tribute to the historic Coralinga homestead and apple orchard that was destroyed by bushfires in the early 1900s. The homestead was situated close to the Henschke Lenswood property in the heart of the southern Mount Lofty Ranges. At 550m, Lenswood has higher rainfall and humidity at the right time of the year, cooler temperatures to retain high natural acidity, and still enough sunshine to fully ripen the grapes.
The exotic aromatic qualities of the sauvignon blanc reflect the exceptional site of this vineyard and the suitability of this variety to the cool climate of the Adelaide Hills region.
