A floral and herbaceous bouquet with a splash of tropical fruit, gently oaked, and faintly smokey fum, characters. Vibrant fruit on the palate through the finish Long and textured.
Gently cold pressed and fermentation completed in specifically chosen. Nevers barriques from a renowned Sancerre’s cooper. The wine is matured on its lees for 8 months, where it gets its particularity and smoky character.
The result a very elegant and unique flinty style with long texture, A gentle cross flow filtration is preferred prior to bottling to retain its flavour.
95 POINTS JAMES HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION 2012
“Colour still very pale an altogether superior wine not because of the barrel ferment component but thanks to its intensity and length on the palate with citrus and tropical fruit woven around each other the oak integrated.”

90 POINTS, RAY JORDAN WA WINE GUIDE 2011.
"This single vineyard Sauvignon Blanc has been given a little oak treatment that provides a gentle dusting over the lightly herbaceous fruit, while adding considerably to the texture, I reckon the guys have got this style about right now and it really does provide a great point of difference from the standard fare being offer up with this variety."
