Fruit from two contrasting areas in the Seaview Vineyard was selected for this wine and harvested individually. The fruit was de-stemmed then pressed gently prior to cold settling for 72 hours. The clear juice was then racked off and each parcel was fermented separately using a specially selected yeast to enhance varietal character. A long cool fermentation followed to capture and enhance the pure aromatics. The wine was blended, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.
Concentrated flavours of snowpea, flowering herbs, green papaya and blackcurrant, with underlying ripe green citrus notes.The palate is textured and elegant, with the distinctive mineral finish that Yealands Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is renowned for.
Enjoy it as an aperitif, or with freshly shucked oysters, prawns, green lip mussels and clams. Also matches brilliantly with a goat’s cheese salad. This wine is suitable for vegetarians, vegans and a gluten free diet. Drink now or cellar 2-4 years.

Kind of lost track of what was one of our favourite savvies a few years back. It’s just as good as ever in this great vintage: crisp and crunchy with terrific concentration of tangy gooseberry fruit. Feels like it’s had some time on yeast lees, and finishes with hints of dried herbs and minerals. Terrific savvy.
