Production Details The two varieties are harvested and vinified separately according to their unique style before blending. The Sauvignon Blanc portion is harvested from older vines during the early morning at sugar levels of 23°- 24B. Eighteen-hour skin contact before draining helps extract a more complete flavour profile from the Sauvignon Blanc. The Semillon grapes are left to hang on the vine as long as possible to achieve full ripeness before picking. The clean juice is fermented in 500L and 600L French oak barrels. The wine was left in barrel for a further 6 weeks before blending. After blending, the wine went back into barrel, a combination of 500L and 600L French oak barrels of various ages. After a total of 8 months the wine received a light fining and filtration and was bottled at the end of January 2024. It has been maturing in bottle ever since.

Bottling Date November 2017
Production Details The two varieties are harvested and vinified separately. The Sauvignon Blanc portion is made from old vines harvested during the early morning at sugar levels of 23°- 24B. Eighteen hour skin contact before pressing extracts mineral and green tones from the Sauvignon Blanc. The Semillon grapes are left to hang on the vine as long as possible to achieve full ripeness. The clean juice is fermented in 500l and 600l French oak barrels. The wine was left in barrel for a further 6 weeks with regular batonage – a total of two months in barrel from start of fermentation, through malolactic fermentation, to blending. After blending, the wine went back into barrel, a combination of 500l and 600l French oak barrels used, 30% new, 30% 2nd fill, 20% 3rd fill, 20% 4th fill. The wine spent a further 7 months, for a total of 9 months, in barrel before fining and bottling at the end of November 2017 and has been maturing in bottle ever since.
