Vinification
With sauvignon blanc grapes of such quality, minimal winemaking means the finer aromatics and flavours are preserved. At the winery, the grapes were chilled, gently pressed, and the juice cold-settled before fermentation in stainless steel tanks.

The Listener, 12 July 2017
An instantly appealing, full-bodied, vibrantly fruity wine that has moderate acidity and fresh, ripe, tropical-fruit flavours, dry and well rounded.
