Four Sisters
Four Sisters’ romance with the grape began in the mid 90s. Inspired by his four beautiful daughters, renowned Australian winemaker Trevor Mast set about creating a wine that was stylish, sophisticated and modern; a reflection of our world today.
Vineyards
The fruit was predominantly sourced from five individual vineyard sites across Central Victoria including parcels from a high altitude vineyard in the Strathbogie Ranges at 450m (1,476 feet). The average ages of the vines are 10 years. Soil types across each individual site vary from sandy loam with some clay content through to very sandy soils on the banks of the Goulburn River.
Winemaking
The Sauvignon Blanc fruit was picked and crushed during the cool of the night to ensure retention of the fresh varietal characters and preservation of fruit flavour. After crushing the must was pressed and settled at 0oC – 2oC. A relatively aromatic yeast strain was used for inoculation and this parcel was cool fermented for 2-3 weeks. Post fermentation the wine was stabilised, filtered and blended for bottling.
Tasting Notes
This unwooded wine displays clean and fragrant grassy aromas with lifted tropical notes. Vibrant passionfruit, gooseberry and lemon citrus flavours shine through on the palate balanced by a gentle acid that leads to a lingering finish.
