VinificationThe grapes were selectively harvested from our Estate Vineyards from early to mid March. Full protective handling was utilized during processing of the grapes and juice to avoid any oxidation or browning. The juice was then clarified and had a long, cool ferment in stainless steel tanks using a selection of aromatic yeast strains. To maximise the retention of fresh fruit flavours and aromas, the resultant wine was bottled early under screw cap.

James Halliday Australian Wine Companion, July 2014
Light, bright straw-green; a mysterious label depicting a mountain range at home in NZ, not the basically flat Norfolk Rise vineyard and surrounds; however, the wine is the glass is pleasing, vibrant and focused, with a mix of cut grass, snow pea and passionfruit, the acidity bright and cleansing.

Winemaker Notes
Norfolk Rise Vineyard is located on the southern tip of South Australia and is renowned for its rugged coastline, exotic seafood and long, white sandy beaches. Heavily influenced by a unique microclimate, our Norfolk Rise Vineyard captures the specific regional characteristics of Mount Benson in producing cool climate wines of the highest calibre. Situated in the heart of Mount Benson, the Norfolk Rise Vineyard is planted on 180 hectares of undulating coastal hills. Within 5 kilometres of the ocean at 37 degrees south of the equator, our Sauvignon Blanc is planted on near perfect "terra rossa" soils, providing an ideal level of nutrient and water retention. Completely surrounding our winemaking facility, Norfolk Rise Vineyard has been, without compromise, planted specifically to suit each individual variety.
