Pure, lifted flavours of wild thyme, crushed oyster shell and mineral notes characterize the nose. The palate is rich and textured, defined by the mineral flavours that give the wine exceptional length.

The L5 Block is situated in a very exposed area right on the coastline of our Seaview Vineyard. It is the coolest, most extreme site on the vineyard and the subsequent wine reflects this terrior - mineral, salty, crushed oyster shell and wet stone are just a few of the flavours that characterise this unique wine.
Perhaps the ripest of the single block series Sauvignon tasted so far with some stone fruit and passion fruit flavours together with an undercurrent of grassier characters. Fairly restrained wine 06 OCT 2012
