A fresh vibrant Semillon Sauvignon Blanc. Tropical fruit, melon and grassy aromas offer appealing intensity of fruit on the palate, which is complemented by the long, lingering, crisp, finish.
Winemaker's Notes
A total of 14.79 tonnes of Semillon grapes were picked on the estate on the 21st and 22nd February, 2011 at a Baumé of 13.2° and 13° respectively for the old and new blocks. The grapes were brought straight to the winery from the vineyard and crushed, pressed and pumped into stainless steel refrigerated tanks for settling. On 15th February 4.72 tonnes of Sauvignon Blanc grapes were picked on the new block and brought to the winery. 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 70%/30% blended and protein and cold stabilised and subjected to a fining procedure. After this the wine was filtered and bottled in August 2011. 1048 cases were made.
