This Sauvignon Blanc is bursting with vibrant aromas of lime, gooseberries, and green guava, with underlying hints of grapefruit, lemon, and flint. On the palate, it exhibits a lovely brightness, with distinct notes of fresh lime and lemon pith. The wine also boasts additional complexity, which adds to its length and leaves a lasting impression the finish.

Ageing Potential

An elegant wine, with great acidity and a nice round finish, that is enjoyable now, but can also be drunk over the next 5 years.

100% Sauvignon Blanc

About The Harvest

The grapes for this wine were carefully selected from all of our Sauvignon Blanc vineyards on the farm. After being hand-harvested and cooled overnight, some batches were whole bunch pressed while others destemmed.

In The Cellar

The juice was lightly settled overnight without the use of enzymes. Spontaneous fermentation took place in seasoned oak barrels, and the wine was aged on its lees for 8 months. The wine receives its first does of SO2 once racked out of barrel.
