PRODUCTION
Organic Estate Sauvignon Blanc grapes are hand-picked at veraison when the grapes first start to accumulate sugar. These small slightly green grapes are then softly pressed with the resulting 100% grape juice naturally setled, chilled, filtered and bottled all within four days to maximise the "just picked" freshness and capture the fruits primary character.

Veraison: The time when red grapes change colour from green to red/black and for white grapes to a golden yellow colour.  Grapes move from the "growing" stage to the "ripening" stage.

VINTAGE NOTES
A mild dry winter proceeded a mild to warm spring with periodic showers. Summer was typically hot and dry receding into cool nights and mild warm days. The fruit at harvest was clean and ripe across all varieties exhibiting good varietal definition and drive.
