Question re: sauvignon blanc

Taswegian · Post by **Taswegian** » Thu Sep 18, 2008 2:29 pm

I started to drink a bottle of Catalina Sounds 07 SB the other night. As my partner was already asleep when I got home, I did not manage to finish it. (yes, I am a wuss)
Anyway, when I opened it again last night, (screwcap), it had a decidedly "dairy"smell and taste. I have seen this with malo'd chardies before but not SB. The Catalina Sounds SB does have aproportion of oak to it does this affect this???

Buy a 375ml bottle of screwcapped wine from DM's drink it, wash it out, open big bottle pour half into empty 375ml bottle, put lid on and put in fridge. Drink rest.

No Mate, No it is not.

I restrained myself from commenting on your inane posts in other threads but bugger me, you just can not help yourself, can you?

You are an idiot.

And thanks Helen Clark (for once) and the ACC. Because I sure as Len Evans/Aubert de Villaine do not want to put my hands in the Australian Healthcare System if you are involved in it.

Whether I agree with you or not on whether lordson is an idiot, it's a forum. In my case, I have chosen abstinence as my preferred response (apart from this post and one other), to a large number of lordson posts. Perhaps you might choose to join me in solidarity, is up to you, and I look forward to talking to you in other posts.

Hey Taswegian.. I don't think time in oak would have created that effect.. it would only increase astringency in the short term and I imagine some body... very Sancerre.

Maybe it was stirred on lees for a long time? I have had a few SBs (mind you, I hated them!) that were manufactured that way.

Either way, you are correct - it's a trait more attributable to malo fermentation..

I agree. And will join in abstinence.

However......

I have had a few SBs (mind you, I hated them!)

How dare you. All I/we have is Rugby Union and Sauvignon Blanc. We suck at League(although go the warriors), can't play netball, do not know which way the cricket bat goes.
Please do not criticise the one thing of joy the land of the long white grape has given me.

If you read my comments correctly, you'd have noticed I was referring to SB's done in the certain style produced by lees stirring!

A little touchy, are we? :p

personally i find nothing worng with this comment, its fair enough. The old "im not gonna play marbles with lordson" comments should be limited to 5 year olds in the playground.

Lordson there are a few producers that do wine in 375mls. Does Henschke still do them? Kumeu River does. Maybe people could add to this list good wines that come in 375ml bottles

Either that or invite friends over!! Get someone to help. If you only want a glass or two stick to beer or whip yourself up a G+T or B+C

'Hate' is a strong word.
