Wine Description
Dandelion Vineyards first wish each vintage is this wine....
Whole bunches from our most distinctive Sauvignon Blanc vineyard, Bill & Vicki Borchardt’s, in the heart of the Adelaide Hills, atop Teakle’s Hill at Woodside were hand selected and picked on the second week of March in the cool of early morning then destemmed in small batches without crushing the fruit followed by gentle pressing.
The free run juice was then fermented in small stainless steel tanks between 11 and 14 degrees Celsius. This Wishing Clock's natural acidity, low pH and alcohol of only 11.5% is light and dry.
