Tasting Notes

Grape varietals: Sauvignon Blanc

This vintage is pale lemon-green, offering fresh
aromas of gooseberry, passion fruit, elderflower, kiwi, and blackcurrant leaf, with a palate balanced by lemongrass and a saline finish.

Winemaking Process

Only select bunches were hand-harvested in the
early morning using 15 kg lug boxes, chosen specifically to prevent crushing
and maintain fruit quality.

Upon arrival at the cellar, grapes were
pre-cooled, carefully hand-sorted, and whole-bunch pressed. The resulting
free-run juice was allowed to settle overnight before being transferred to 600L
oak barrels for spontaneous fermentation.

Fermentation proceeded at controlled temperatures
between 11°C and 13°C. The wine then matured on the lees in barrel for 14
months prior to bottling.
