Vinification

Sauvignon Blanc grapes were selected from our Estate vineyard. Full protective handling was utilized during processing of the grapes and juice to avoid any oxidation or browning. The juice was clarified and a long cool ferment, in stainless steel tanks using a selection of aromatic yeast stains, followed. To maximise the retention of fresh fruit flavours and aromas, the resultant wine was bottled early and under screw cap.

No mistaking this - it shouts sauvignon blanc with its tropical fruit salad aromas, all guava, melons, passionfruit and lychees. The palate is lean and tight with the piercing acidity somewhat hard although it finishes fresh. (Jane Faulkner)
