Written Notes

Pale lemon in colour. The nose displays vibrant lemon, lime and pink grapefruit characters along with green apple and a dash of fresh herbs. It has excellent mid-palate concentration and texture with flavours of Tahitian lime, florals and a touch of nettle. with fine acidity.


The fruit for this Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from certified organic vineyards Balhannah and Lenswood, complemented by parcels of fruit from carefully selected, quality growers. Balhannah Vineyard is 35 hectares, planted predominantly to Sauvignon Blanc and close-planted Shiraz on a property surrounding the winery at 340-380m elevation. The soil is free draining, sandy loam over red clay with underlying quartzite and shale, with varying amounts of ironstone pebbles. The Lenswood Vineyard is located roughly 10km northwest of the winery at 455–500m elevation. Undulating with east and west facing aspects, the soils are brown loams over clay with broken shale on the ridges. The vineyard was planted in 1999 and is 20 hectares in total.

Upon arrival at the winery, the hand-picked whole bunches were destemmed and gently pressed. The must was left to settle before being transferred to temperature-controlled, stainless steel vats for a cool fermentation to retain the varietal purity and bright fruit aromas of the Sauvignon Blanc. Following fermentation, the wine was aged on its lees for a short period and was bottled early under screw cap to retain its vibrancy.
