Nose
Bright, lifted Sauvignon characters from a very good Margaret River vintage for this
variety. Fig, passionfruit, cut grass and a touch of wild herbs.
Palate
The aromas of this wine come across to the palate, to give you a wine that is vibrant,
refreshing and long.
Winemaking
The grapes were harvested in the middle of the night, lightly pressed then fermented in cool temperatures
to encourage aroma production, texture and overall varietal character. On the completion of fermentation,
the batches were chilled, blended and lightly fined before being stabilised and filtered only once to
produce a bottle ready wine. This minimal handling had helped retain the attractive primary fruit flavours
and aromas.A very distinct vintage - the dry, warm spring and summer meant it was tracking early but a tropical rain
event pushed back harvest dates slightly. There was concern that the whites may suffer berry split and
subsequent high disease pressure, however the hard work from our Vineyard Managers coupled with
the warm, dry conditions and fresh daily sea breezes resulted in no issues – another “lucky” vintage in
Margaret River! We saw white varieties with great aromatics, perfume and length of flavour.
Appearance
Very pale and brilliant with a bright green tint; typical of young Sauvignon Blanc.
Food Pairing
Light fish, shellfish, salads and green vegetables.
