Tasting Notes
colour
Pale green hues.
aroma
Bursting with pink grapefruit, lime zest and passionfruit. Exotic nuances of elderflower and lemongrass linger in the background.
palate
Loaded with vibrant tropical flavours, this Sauvignon Blanc has bright acidity and a long juicy finish.
cellaring
Best enjoyed in its youth, this wine will drink well for at least three to four years from vintage.
Technical
vintage
Constant spring winds during budburst caused lower vine yields. The region experienced cooler than average temperatures over the growing season causing a longer, slower ripening period with delayed harvest dates. The driest growing season to date causing intensely concentrated fruit.Â
winemaking
A Tamar Valley dominant blend with small inclusions of Coal River Valley and East Coast fruit. The Coal River Valley parcel was barrel fermented on low level solids giving the wine layers of rich tropical flavours to balance the vibrant herbal notes of the northern fruit component. The East Coast portion provides bright stone-fruit aromatics with an element of elderflower and lime zest.
