2023 Sauvignon Blanc
$27.00
Grown in our white block from 1.1 acres of vines this Sauvignon Blanc is classically Sauvignon. Aromas of freshly cut grass to tropical and ripe passion fruit with hints of grapefruit. On the palate, you’ll find honey dew, citrus, grapefruit, white peach, some notes of passion fruit with racy acidity making this wine a perfect summer white.

| Vintage report | There was relatively high rainfall over winter which resulted in slightly later budburst with good growing conditions throughout spring. Winds were a factor during flowerings poor fruit set meant smaller bunches and lower crops through our vineyard as well as extremes: 40-plus days, cold temperatures, storms, strong winds and large amounts of water in the space of a few hours. Overall our wines from this vintage are some of our best, we only wish we were able to produce more!! |
