Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Why we love this wine

• Grapes & Terroir

  Silty loam over free-draining gravels. Vertical shoot positioning. Standard vertical trellis.
• Winemaking

  The fruit used to make this wine was harvested during the cool autumn mornings and fermented in stainless steel tanks using selected yeast strains. Also, a small portion of this fruit was hand harvested and let to undergo a wild fermentation in seasoned French oak puncheons. Post fermentation, the wine spent approximately 6 months on lees, after which the wine was blended, filtered and finally bottled locally.
• Tasting

  Light lemon colour and a bright clarity with lifted notes of grapefruit, gooseberry and red capsicum, with subtle hints of tropical fruit. Palate: layers of citrus, passion fruit, red apple and herbal notes intermingle on the palate. This finely textured wine has subtle hints of wet rock and finishes with a long, dry finish.
• Makers Match

  This wine is particularly well suited to seafood and poultry dishes, and summer salads.
