Tasting Notes
colour
Pale straw with a bright green rim.
aroma
Fresh and bright with a lovely grassy, aromatic lift along with richer notes of fig, lychee, lemongrass and a touch of gardenia flower.
palate
The palate bursts with zesty lemon and lime supported by a juicy pineapple and passionfruit with a long refreshing finish.
cellaring
Peak drinking within two years.
Technical
vintage
We had a mild spring with adequate soil moisture, resulting in a slightly later season. A moderate summer led to ideal ripening conditions with little pressure in the vineyard and a lack of any major rain events during the ripening season. Consistently warm days and cool evenings made for great retention of acid within the grapes, whilst achieving optimal fruit expression.
winemaking
Fruit was harvested in the coolest part of the night with some batches of Sauvignon Blanc undergoing extended skin contact. All other batches of fruit were immediately pressed and separated from skins. A portion of this wine underwent wild barrel fermentation (7%) in one-to-five-year old French oak, with the balance fermented in tank on light solids. Following fermentation, all batches remained on yeast lees to achieve texture, integration and balance before bottling.
