Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Viticultural techniques used are tailored to natural variations in the soil types in our Sauvignon Blanc block. The aim is to provide varying canopy to fruit ratios, in order to capture the full range of flavours that Sauvignon Blanc grapes are known for - from herbal and grassy through to ripe tropical fruits.
Winemaker Notes
Night harvested, then transferred to press via crusher and must chiller. Keeping grape and juice temperatures low before fermentation captures the delicate aromatics and is essential given the reduced amount of preservatives used in organic winemaking. Oak treatment: 20% barrel matured for 6 weeks in French Oak (100% new). 6.5% Semillon adds complexity and enhances palate weight.
