Fresh and intense display of passion fruit, mango, peach and lichees on the mid palate with an underlying clean citrus length to balance the fruit.
In the Cellar
After pressing, the must was settled maintaining the temperature at 12° - 14° Celsius. Fermentation occurred using a commercial yeast strain particularly suited to Sauvignon Blanc. The wine was kept on its gross lees for 5 months and stirred regularly to enhance the mid-palate. A small portion of oak fermented Sauvignon Blanc was blended for more complexity. Various finings were conducted to clarify the wine.
