Brief Description

Tasting Notes

Beautiful fruit purity of limes and ripe gooseberry, with tropical, floral and fine herbal notes, ruby grapefruit and white pear drop on the finish.

This is cool climate Sauvignon Blanc – vibrant, mineral, elegant, balanced and delicate, with a long, layered and complex finish.

About

A combination of gravel bed, Sandstone and silica soils quartz soils with underlying clay support the vines which were planted between 1997 and 2012.

The aim is for elegance, balance and to express the unique terroir of the Elgin Highlands.

Grapes were hand-picked into crates early in the morning to ensure that the grapes stayed cool.

The Sémillon component was fermented naturally in 2nd and 3rd fill French oak barrels to enhance the mid palate weight and to add complexity to the wine.

A selection of different Sauvignon Blanc vineyard sites were naturally fermented in French oak barrels. The barrel fermentation component made up 4% of the final blend.

Ideal with...

Fresh asparagus, chicken and seafood dishes but is also enjoyable by itself.
