COLOUR: A delicate, pale green/gold.

NOSE AND PALATE: Passionfruit driven on the nose, this wine presents with soft acidity across the palate, showing tropical notes of lemongrass and grassy flavours. A rich and
complex wine with a lovely balanced finish, range of flavour and length.

REGION: 100% Waipara, North Canterbury

WINEMAKING: The fruit was harvested at maximum flavour as assessed through frequent tasting in the vineyard by the winemaker. We picked across the vineyard at different times and degrees of ripeness to allow the individual cuvees a range of site expression. Extended skin contact time was used prior to crushing to enhance extraction of the aromatic compounds. The fruit was then very gently pressed to avoid harsh phenolic extraction and the juice allowed to cold settle. The clear juice was fermented at low temperatures using a range of yeast renowned for their ability to enhance the Sauvignon Blanc aromas. A balanced amount of residual sugar was left in the wine to complement the acidity and to add palate weight and structure.

WINEMAKER: Matt Connell

GRAPE VARIETY: 100% Sauvignon Blanc

MATURATION: 100% stainless steel fermentation

WINE ANALYSIS:
