in the vineyard : Grapes were selected from high altitude south facing vineyards with cool meso-climates where ripening is slower, resulting in more intense varietal expression.
about the harvest: Bellingham Sauvignon Blanc is hand picked for graceful varietal expressions. Yields per hectare average between 5 and 7 tons. Grapes were picked at different stages of ripening between 20º and 24º B to maximise flavours and accentuate intrinsic terroir traits.

in the cellar : Cold fermentation in cellar captures the intrinsically ripe yet refined aromas and flavours and a secret splash of Semillon (10%) adds further excitement and intrigue.
