Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2026
TASTING NOTES
COLOUR: Pale straw
AROMA: Lifted and pure aromas of fresh passionfruit, citrus blossom and lime. Notes of dried herbs, peach skin, and papaya add vibrancy and intensity to the aromatics.
PALATE: Powerful, tight and elegant. Intense ripe fruit flavours of passionfruit and white peach, with citrus notes of lime and floral grapefruit. The concentration is considerable and the weight generous, held in shape by an underlying salinity and tight pith structure that give the wine lively tension and textural balance.
ANALYSIS: Alc. 13.5% | pH: 3.15 | TA: 6.9
WINEMAKER NOTES
Picked during cool evenings, fermentation at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks was utilized to retain the fresh varietal aromatics with a proportion fermented with indigenous yeast. After fermentation, the wine underwent an extended period of lees contact, adding texture and length to the wine. The result is a hand-crafted wine combining the bright fresh fruit characters with an underlying minerality and fine structure.
VITICULTURIST NOTES
The 2026 season was characterized by excellent growing conditions in a cool dry and long Summer. Regular winter rainfall and plentiful spring rain encouraged optimal canopy growth and fruit set. Summer was dry but stayed cool resulting in healthy vines with no disease or water stress. There was a slow progression into Autumn with a very long, drawn-out ripening period where the fruit reached optimum ripeness in perfect harvest conditions.
