A small portion of this wine was barrel fermented in new oak, before being blended back to tank post-ferment. This oak portion makes up around 5% of the final blend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eregion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMargaret River\u003cbr\u003eGeographe\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003evariety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSauvignon Blanc \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eanalysis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 13.0%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epH: 3.16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcidity (TA): 6.55 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWestern Australian Dhufish, chilled mango and cannellini beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Millbrook","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":50698723655750,"sku":"2015SAB25D67","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1139\/8708\/files\/Millbrook-Regional-Sauvignon-Blanc_360x2_e6c2c63a-f46b-495d-8be2-3b4ecd82f4e8.jpg?v=1698986029","url":"https:\/\/fogartyhall.wine\/products\/2026-regional-sauvignon-blanc","provider":"Fogarty Hall Fine Wine Estates","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
