Tasting Notes
Pale straw in colour with flashes of green, this Sauvignon Blanc opens with an expressive bouquet of Cape gooseberry, Granny Smith apple, and lemongrass. The palate is crisp and lively, revealing layers of lime and subtle sea-spray, supported by refreshing acidity and a light, elegant texture. A lingering finish of citrus zest leaves a clean, invigorating aftertaste. Beautifully balanced, the wine combines freshness, fruit purity and structure in a refined expression of cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc.

Food Complements
Try this Sauvignon Blanc with charred shishito peppers and miso butter, Vietnamese rice-paper rolls with mango and mint, goat's cheese stuffed dates wrapped in prosciutto, or crispy halloumi drizzled with a citrus balsamic reduction. The wine's acidity and herbal notes create unexpectedly vibrant, flavour-packed contrasts to these dishes.

Vintage
Hot, windy conditions accelerated the growing cycle, bringing the harvest forward by roughly two weeks. Most grapes were harvested before rain arrived, minimising the risk of rot. Flowering and fruit set progressed smoothly despite occasional winds, and careful monitoring ensured pollination was unaffected. Berry size increased, resulting in higher yields per hectare, even as cluster numbers were slightly lower — a reflection of productive vines and careful vineyard management. Overall, sugar balance, acidity, and phenolic ripeness developed as expected, setting the stage for wines with structure, elegance, and ageing potential.
