Production Details Barrel fermentation and extended lees contact contribute to this full bodied, elegant and well balanced wine. The wine is approached and made in an oxidative style. Older 600 litre barrels were used for the fermentation and maturation, bringing forward richness, intense fruit and complexity. 15% of the production was fermented in 600 litre egg shape tanks. In both the barrels and the eggs, extended lees contact contribute further to the rounder mouth feel and creaminess of this elegantly textured wine. The bracing acidity that is customary in new world Sauvignons has been brought into balance with a carefully chosen pick date and the barrel and egg fermentation and maturation. A full bodied, balanced wine was the goal.
