Fournier Urban Sauvignon Blanc 2009 Mendoza
Producer: O Fournier
Tasting Notes:
There is a lovely fruit salad mix on the nose, gooseberry and lime crisped up by mineral and flint. Behind the zippy freshness is sweet tropical fruit, grapefruit and white peach ensuring some richness. The finish is refreshingly crisp and long.
Grape Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
ABV: 13.5%
Country/Region: Argentina
Vintage: 2009
The new winery - a phoenix rising out of the stony arid soil - aims to combine the best of old and new technology when completed: above ground, stainless steel, oak vats and gravity feeds; underground, a cellar designed to hold 2,800 oak barrels at a constant temperature and humidity. The three vineyards in the la Consulta region of Mendoza are planted to classic red varieties, with an emphasis on Tempranillo. Working with a number of local growers, Bodegas Fournier also buy in very good grapes from old vines - a system which actively encourages green harvest and low yields. The winemaker is Jose Spisso, previously from Alta Vista.
