Wine Description
Handpicked 22 April 2022 and chilled in the cold room before whole bunch pressing to ensure minimal phenolic extraction and maximum fruit expression. The juice was cold settled for 48 hours before racking to ferment. Some solids were intentionally retained in the juice to add complexity through ferment. Part of the juice was fermented in barrel to build further complexity and texture with the remainder fermented in tank to enhance fruit expression. Extended time on lees post ferment completes the élevage of this Fumé style Sauvignon Blanc. Bottled on 31 October 2022.
