Tasting Notes
Aroma
A lifted and perfumed Sauvignon Blanc with strong citrus characteristics leading into ripe tropical tones. Complimentary flinty and smoky notes linger in the background providing a complex balance to the primary fruit.
Maturation
2-3 Months in stainless steel
Appearance
Pale straw
Palate
The wine is juicy and mouth filling with vibrant ripe fruit. A fresh line of balanced acidity supports the soft, round texture.
Vinification
Handpicked fruit is whole bunch pressed and cold settled before fermentation.
A portion of this wine is fermented using indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for
2-3 months in stainless steel tanks then bottled without fining
Cellaring Potential
Drinks beautifully now or can be cellared for three to five years.
Vintage Notes
A mild spring free of frost alerts, resulted in an extremely good budburst with nice even growth across all
varieties. Above average early/mid-summer temperatures with generally settled weather ensured an excellent
flowering and fruit set, with January the warmest in over 60 years of statistical records. This led to one of our
earliest harvests, however the month also produced another climatic record with by far the highest rainfall
recorded for February, necessitating additional canopy management, under vine weeding and inter row mowing.
Low cropping with good open canopies allowing sunlight and wind penetration to do their job certainly won the
day in a testing but rewarding vintage.
