This wine shows complex, ripe fruit with a dry finish. Flinty minerality with tropical fruit and a hint of grass aromas on the nose. Exceptional long tropical pineapple, citrus finish which is typical of the long hang time in our cool region.
Harvest
Grapes are hand picked over a progressive ripening curve to capture the natural acidity and show the riper, tropical fruit flavour of Sauvignon Blanc with typical freshness and balance. After crushing, pumped through mash-cooler straight to press for draining. Free-run juice settled and fermented separately from pressings. Extended lees contact after fermentation for about 8 weeks to increase creamy character. Juice/wine handled reductively throughout process.
