Tasting Notes:

Exuding fabulous aromas of crunchy apple, kiwifruit, passionfruit, and lemon peel, this wine delivers a flavoursome palate with excellent fruit power and persistence. Notes of capsicum, guava, and pineapple add complexity, while a refreshing acidity and creamy, bready undertones from Sur Lie aging provide balance and texture.

Awards, Reviews, And Other Notes:

“Restrained, elegant nose with green apple and nettles. Palate broader, textured with soft green melon, lemon spice and chalky lees.”

– Decanter

“This mellow and well-rounded sauvignon blanc has dried lemons, limes and aromatic herbs on the nose. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity. Lovely lemon character on the palate, with a juicy finish. Sustainable. Drink now. Screw cap.”
90 Points – James Suckling

Winemaker Notes:

We harvested in the cool morning, and then we gently pressed the grapes, cold settled, and slowly fermented the juice in stainless steel tanks. We then kept the wine on its lees for six months to enrich the mid-palate and add weight and textural complexity.
