Nose
The bouquet has the classical lifted Sauvignon Blanc botanical s of elder-flower, gooseberry with hints of tropical fruit and light caramel from the 10 months in oak barrels and the regular lees stirring.
Palate
Medium to full bodied with a silky texture that follows barrel fermentation and storage on yeast lees. The palate displays ripe gooseberry, white stone fruit and lychees. The natural acidity allows the flavours to be drawn out along the palate with a limey acidity giving subtle support to the long and intense finish
Growing Conditions
After a significantly wet winter with rainfall 30% above average, temperatures gradually crept up above the long-term ranges while rainfall fell well below norms as spring commenced.
