Winery & Vintage Info

Winemaking Notes

Winemaking techniques included warm fermentation temperatures with select yeast strains that help promote Sauvignon Blanc's abundant flavours and aromatic intensity. The wine was left on yeast lees (sur lie) for four months prior to blending, a technique that improves texture and softness whilst maintaining the variety's vibrant fruit expression. Winemaker Joel Veenhuizen's careful approach ensures the wine showcases the best characteristics of South Eastern Australian Sauvignon Blanc, balancing freshness with subtle complexity.

Vintage Conditions

The 2024 vintage in South Eastern Australia benefited from ideal growing conditions. A dry winter was followed by a warm spring and summer, enabling vines to produce a healthy crop of high-quality fruit. The dry harvest period ensured no disease pressure and provided optimum ripening conditions, allowing the grapes to develop concentrated flavours whilst retaining natural acidity. These conditions resulted in Sauvignon Blanc of exceptional freshness, varietal purity, and aromatic intensity.
