Medium Straw. The bouquet has floral notes with frangipani citrus blossom and lifted passion fruit plus tropical guava notes all revealing themselves. The palate has lovely mouth filling passion fruit initially then sweet citrus and nettle notes. The natural minerally acidity gives definition to the wine and leaves the fruit flavours lingering.
2012 was a cool growing season, characterised by particularly low yields due to a wet December flowering period. Fortunately we enjoyed a good settled autumn after a cool summer. This enabled very light crops to be harvested in good condition with real fruit concentration and quality.
Aromatic and fresh Sauvignon Blanc flavours were encouraged prior to vintage through careful canopy management. The fruit was destemmed and pressed immediately after harvest and a cool fermentation was initiated in stainless steel tanks to retain the clean fresh aromatic fruit characters.
