A fresh and racy complex blend of zest and fruit, - litchis, kiwi, pomegranate, light fig and passion fruit highlight the fresh apple and pear flavours - the end lingers with an herbaceous character of mushy peas and freshly cut hay.
Winemaker Comments
Like last year, we were challenged by rain during harvest. Repeated cycles of downpours and drying out gave us a wider than ususal range of ripeness in our grapes and maybe even taught us that our pyrazine flavours last longer than we thought in the grapes. Coming from higher ballings, we have a vintage with fuller mouth feel and an impression of fruit sweetness - rather tropical - without sacrificing the pyrazine aspects (expect these capsicum and asparagus components to become more of a feature as the wine develops). Another lovely sauvignon blanc year proving to be very popular with our customers. We spent a lot of time in the cellar and the vineyards to minimise the effect of the rot that occured because of the very damp weather. For the first time in a while there is no Semillon in the blend this year.
