Winemaker's Notes
5.92 tonnes of Semillon grapes were picked on the estate on the 22nd February, 2008 at a Baumé of 12.6°. The grapes were brought straight to the winery from the vineyard and crushed, pressed and pumped into stainless steel refrigerated tanks for settling. On 4th March, 2008 Sauvignon Blanc grapes were picked at a Baumé of 12.6° at an adjacent property and brought to Woody Nook for processing in a similar fashion. The clear juice from both varieties was then racked to fermenters for alcohol fermentation. This process took 24 days in the case of the Semillon and 18 days for the Sauvignon Blanc. The wine was then blended and protein and cold stabilised and subjected to a fining procedure. After this the wine was filtered and bottled in September 2008. 710 cases were made.
