Lifted grassy and tropical fruit aromas lead to a lively palate bursting with ripe passionfruit, gooseberry and citrus flavours. These flavours linger through the textural midpalate before a long, dry, citrus finish.
Enjoy this wine with asparagus risotto.

THE WINEMAKING
The fruit for the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc was picked in March at 12.1° baumé. The grapes were picked in the cool early morning, before being crushed to tank to spend 48 hours on skins. This extracted wonderful aromatics and varietal flavours. The fruit was then processed quickly off skins and fermented cool to preserve fruit quality.
THE VINTAGE
The 2023 vintage will go down as not only one of the latest on record, but also one of the most challenging in recent memory. A third La Niña event in a row made for a much cooler and wetter spring followed by a cool summer and autumn with small rain events that certainly kept us on our toes. Whilst the weather made for some stressful and busy periods, we were able to harvest everything at optimum ripeness.
