Wines by Dancing Water

Dancing Water Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2008

The third release of this pure, single vineyard Sauvignon Blanc. Dancing Water is driven by the vision of Ross Trowsdale and Clare Bisso. Trowsdale studied viticulture and oenology, after which he travelled and worked vintages in the new and od world for a number of top quality wine producers; New Zealand (Pegasus Bay and Felton Road) Australia (Wyndham Estate) the USA (Cristom Vineyards) and Austria (Weingut Stefanshof and Alois Kracher). These experiences have nurtured a love and respect for fine wine and the making of it.

The vineyard is canopy trained to standard vertical shoot positioning, 2.5 x 1.5m density, young vines, pruned to two canes, yielding an average of two tonne/acre. Various picks are conducted through the vineyard, determined when parcels ripen to healthy baumes and and are at the optimal level of Brix. Select pressings were taken from two parcels within the vineyard and underwent separate fermentation. Only the first five hundred litres/tonne was used and allowed to settle for two to four days at 8°C to 10°C. The must was racked and inoculated with selected yeast strains. Fermented for thirty days at temperatures 14°C to 18.5°C first pick, and twenty six days at temperatures 13.5°C to 19.0°C second pick. Approx 12.5%

A brilliant pale straw colour with a hint of green. Intense and perfumed, the aroma is multi level with fully pungent passionfruit, guava and citrus fruit fragrances over underlying notes of flint, mineral and green capsicum. This transfers on to the palate with an elegant integration of mineral, ripe citrus, tropical fruit flavours and a crisp acidity. Vibrant and fully expressive of a single vineyard, with pear, honeysuckle and pink grapefruit flavours, the streamlined texture persists on the mineral tinged, tangy lime finish. Dancing Water reflects perfectly the passion and philosophy of painstaking viticulture and passionate winemaking, consolidating the timeless, transcedental and mystical qualities which typify great Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
