Winemaker Drew Tuckwell

Aroma and Palate Unmistakably sauvignon blanc in aroma and flavour. Intense, lifted fruit in the passionfruit, floral, citrus spectrum with a cut grass edge to it. Mid-palate weight and texture adds interest. Balanced acidity provides freshness and length. Dry, clean finish.

Cellar Best young and fresh. Drink within 2 years of harvest.

Winemaking
Sourced from 4 different high elevation vineyards. Each vineyard contributes different characters for greater fruit complexity. Harvest timing is crucial to capture distinctive varietal but ripe flavours. Some wild ferment and malolactic fermentation to add texture and complexity. Early bottling to capture intensity and freshness

Elevation  880 metres 25%, 900 metres 50%, 1,020 metres 25%.
