Orange winery Angullong releases its 2009 Sauvignon Blanc
I recently travelled the Orange wine region and came across Angullong wines, a small family owned winery which claimed dual trophies at the 2008 Sydney Royal Wine Show. This huge achievement made their wines a highly demanded good, even in the Orange region itself. The cellar door on a rainy day was a good place to start tasting these wines.
Sydney Royal Wine winner releases new Sav Blanc
Angullong Wines has recently released their much anticipated 2009 Angullong Sauvignon Blanc and 2008 Angullong Cabernet Merlot, both made from grapes grown on Angullong’s Orange vineyard.
The Crossing family, owners of the Angullong property since 1950, have paid particular attention to the vineyard, ensuring that the quality and consistency of their vines is reflected in the wines that they make.
“We have a range of soils types and aspects in our 220 hectare vineyard, giving us a broad range of flavour profiles and characteristics within the varieties,” commented Ben Crossing. “This has proven to be a useful advantage and, with the cool to cold climate of the Orange region, has given us great consistency of style with our wines.”
Orange is proving to be one of the top regions for cool climate Sav Blacs, offering riper tropical fruit flavours, with well balanced acidity, giving consumers a greater choice and experience from the New Zealand or French styles available.

Der Gewinner der Sydney Royal Wine Show 2008 in der Kategorie Sauvignon Blanc war die Angullong Winery aus Orange, ich habe jene Gegend und deren Cellar Door kürzlich besucht.
In dieser Woche stellen die Angullong’s ihren neuen Sav Blanc vor, bei der grossen Nachfrage nach deren Weinen ein kurzes Vergnügen. Wohl bekomm’s.
