Tasting Notes
A Sauvignon Blanc based summer wine, displaying some of the green aromas associated with this
main varietal. However fresh floral and tropical notes on the finish lend to a very well balanced

About The Harvest
This harvest will be remembered probably as one of the earliest vintages that we have had and
will have in a long time. This is also one of our better vintages because of all the intense flavours
and concentration in the white wine grapes.
Yield: 7t/ha
In The Cellar
The three varietals that make up the blend are each vinified separately as individual wines. Stainless
steel tank fermentation and reductive wine making are followed. These three components
are then blended in different ratios until we are satisfied that we have the final blend that meets
The Old Man’s approval.
