Tasting Note

Winemaking Winery

A portion was also fermented using wild yeast to build texture and complexity. As usual, our Sauvignon Blanc was blended stringently to include only the best; in 2023 we tasted 82 different portions, of which 50 were selected to create the final blend.

Winery

Vineyards located in the Rapaura, Fairhall, Renwick and Brancott sub-regions of the Wairau Valley.

Free-draining gravel based soils with shallow sandy-loam horizons.

Following the harvest, the free-run juice was cold settled, before racking and inoculation with selected yeast. Fermentation was carried out primarily in stainless steel tanks, with approximately 4% of the blend fermented at warmer temperatures in old French oak barriques and large format oak vats. As usual, our Sauvignon Blanc was blended stringently from 91 different portions to include only the best.
