Fruit was harvested in the coolest part of the night with some batches of Sauvignon Blanc undergoing extended skin contact. All other batches of fruit were immediately pressed and separated from skins. A portion of this wine underwent wild barrel fermentation (7%) in one-to-five-year old French oak, with the balance fermented in tank on light solids. Following fermentation, all batches remained on yeast lees to achieve texture, integration and balance before bottling.
Tasting notes:
COLOUR: Pale straw with a bright green rim.
AROMA: Fresh and bright with a lovely grassy, aromatic lift along with richer notes of fig, lychee, lemongrass and a touch of gardenia flower.
PALATE: The palate bursts with zesty lemon and lime supported by a juicy pineapple and passionfruit with a long refreshing finish.
