  • A vibrant, flinty, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc with pronounced aromas of passionfruit, lime and mandarin underpinned by spicy notes of blackcurrant leaf. Pronounced aromas of citrus fruit, lime and mandarin are underpinned by spicy notes of blackcurrant leaf, green chilli pepper and chalk. This vibrant and juicy Sauvignon Blanc has refreshing, zesty acidity and delicate mineral notes on the smooth palate. Long and elegant, this makes the perfect apéritif.
  • Awards Top 100, Wine Merchant, 2022

The grapes were rigorously sorted to ensure that only the healthy, ripe clusters underwent the cold maceration process, followed by gentle crushing. The free run and lightly pressed juices were chilled to 6 to 8°C and then cold stabilised for 48 hours. The juice was then racked to stainless steel tanks and fermented with selected yeasts at 13°C to 15°C for 18 days. 10% of the wine was fermented in second and third-use French oak barrels, adding complexity and structure. Aged for five months on its lees, to contribute greater texture and aromatic layers.

Herbal and mineral overtones of fennel and gooseberry leaf complement enticing citrus fruit, lime and mandarin aromas. This vibrant and juicy Sauvignon Blanc has refreshing, zesty acidity and delicate mineral notes.

Winery

The grapes were sourced from small plots within selected vineyards in the Leyda Valley, 14 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean, where the South Pacific breezes and the morning coastal summer fog cool the vines. Located to the west of the coastal mountain range, the Leyda Valley's finely textured soils are developed from granite rock on the coastal batholith formed 200 million years ago during the Jurassic period. The thin upper layer is loamy clay and has little fertility. The subsoil in these plots is sedimentary and calcareous, which is unusual in this coastal area as it is generally granitic. Small plots of low-yielding clones- Davis 1, Davis 5 and French clones 242, 107 and 376- are planted on west-facing slopes exposed to the wind, keeping the vines healthy. Careful canopy management protects the clusters from direct sunlight, thus enhancing freshness and preserving the terroir's fruit expression and character.
