A complex & engaging nose, undeniably Sauvignon Blanc, with dark smokey oak input & a creamy generosity
Fruit textured, generous & fruit driven, framed by subtle oak. The wine has a driving acid line - balanced with fruit & oak which ensures freshness & longevity
Average rains over winter & spring but cool cloudy conditions caused reduced fruit set in some varieties. Summer was warm with no heat spikes & was very dry, perfect for berry development. Heavy cropping on some varieties necessitated bunch dropping to achieve full ripeness. Cooler conditions later in summer extended the ripening period
