about the harvest: Sauvignon Blanc grapes from Rickety Bridge Vineyards were harvested by hand on 1 February 2006 at 21.5Â° Balling.

Six hours skin contact at 14Â°C was allowed, before pressing with bag press up to 0.5 bar when pH started to change. Juice was settled overnight, racked off lees and inoculated with VIN 7 yeast. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks between 11Â° - 15Â°C and lasted for 20 days.
