A Sauvignon Blanc based summer wine, displaying some of the green aromas associated with this main varietal. However fresh floral and tropical notes on the finish lend to a very well balanced wine.

About The Harvest

This harvest will be remembered probably as one of the earliest vintages that we have had and will have in a long time. This is also one of our better vintages because of all the intense flavours and concentration in the white wine grapes.
Yield: 7t/ha

In The Cellar

The three varietals that make up the blend are each vinified separately as individual wines. Stainless steel tank fermentation and reductive wine making are followed. These three components are then blended in different ratios until we are satisfied that we have the final blend that meets The Old Man’s approval.
