Tasting Notes
WINEMAKER'S COMMENTS
The sauvignon blanc and semillon vines were planted on their own roots in 1976, and are farmed with 100% certified biodynamic methods.
APPEARANCE
Pale straw with green tinges.
AROMA
Cut grass, kaffir lime, figeoa and orange blossom.
PALATE
Vibrant acidity, minerality, and texture, framing citrus, limes, kaffir lime, man- darine, cut grass and vanilla flavours. A wine of great vibrancy and freshness, and yet the palate has great length and line, travelling through with beautiful poise and balance.
FOOD MATCHING
Scallops, prawns & eggplant.
GRAPES/BLEND
93% Sauvignon Blanc, 7% Semillon.
VINIFICATION
This excellent fruit quality enabled complexity in the winemaking. The Sauvi- gnon Blanc was whole bunch basket pressed, with whole bunch amphorae skin contact fermentation, creating phenolic tension and mouthfeel with beautiful texture on the palate. The Semillon component was crushed with 4 days skin contact.
MATURATION
Barrel-aged for 6 months in 68% new oak.
CELLARING POTENTIAL
Enjoy now - 15 years.
