Colour: Pale straw with a lime tint.
Nose: Pungent lifted lemon tart, ripe tropical fruit aromas with a hint of spices. Well balanced by the mineral flintiness of the Sauvignon Blanc.

ageing : Enjoy in its youth.

in the vineyard : There are two sections of this 17 year-old Sauvignon Blanc vineyard - bush vines planted in 2.8 metre rows, yielding a very small crop, and an adjacent trellised block yielding slightly more. The vineyards reached full ripeness in mid-February and were harvested by hand into lug boxes.The Sémillon grapes, obtained from a neighbouring farm, were grown under similar conditions to the Sauvignon Blanc.
Growing Region: Sir Lowry’s Pass
