about the harvest: Sauvignon blanc grapes were harvested very early in the morning from the last week of January until the end of February.
Grapes were harvested between 22° - 23° Balling from a selection of vineyards.
Yield (ton/ha): 14 tons

in the cellar : Gentle pressing followed by using a Pneumatic bag press to capture the delicate fruit component. The wine was made reductively to prevent any oxidation and to ensure that natural flavours of the grapes could be retained. Fermentation happened slowly in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks for 18 days at 12°C.
