Description

We aim to produce a well flavoured, crisp dry Sauvignon Blanc with the attractive fruit characters typical of the variety and designed for current drinking.

The 2024 season had some extremely hot days in January but fortunately the Sauvignon Blanc came through unscathed due to its vigorous canopy (the fruit was naturally very well shaded). We have several picks of Sauvignon Blanc; the first picked fruit having the crisp & zesty herbaceous characters with the second pick being slightly riper, it has more tropical fruit flavours and palate weight.

COLOUR

Very bright and clear with a hint of light lemon/green.

AROMA

Has delicate tropical fruit characters with some light passionfruit and honeydew melon aromas and just a hint of grassiness.

PALATE

This is a well weighted, crisp dry wine. Quite subtle for a Sauvignon Blanc it’s not overtly fruity but still has good depth of those varietal passionfruit and green melon fruit flavours. The good palate weight from the riper fruit component makes the wine approachable now and the fresh acidity and lovely ‘lemon pith’ character from the earlier picked component provides its pleasingly dry finish. It will continue to drink well over the months ahead.

A delicious, crisp dry wine that can be enjoyed with or without food.
Best enjoyed as a young wine.
