Hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed (95%), fermented on skins in seasoned French barriques and puncheons. The result is an intensely flavoured and textural sauvignon with a firm structure of peppery tannins and a drying finish. A welcome variant from the usual fruity, punchy sauvignon style. 05 MAY 2023 Drink 2023–2026

Textural with tastes of earth and mineral rather than fruit. Fruit with good exposure to light was hand harvested from a discrete one-acre block on the estate that we call the Quail Trail. Bunch pressed with no juice clarification and fermented with uninoculated ‘yeasts’ left on lees for 11 months prior to bottling. Harmless crystals may form in the bottle.
