Picked early and barrel fermented. It’s a lean wine with impact. It smells and tastes of blackcurrant bud and gravel, citrus and lemongrass, and while it starts in ultra reserved mode it builds and expands as it travels through the palate. It’s a decent drink now but arguably it needs some extra time in bottle. If you’re prepared to put in that time this is very good value. 90+ points. Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front Jan 2024

Notes
2023 was a cool vintage that produced exceptional wines across all varieties. Despite the delayed harvest caused by the cooler growing season, we were fortunate to have a mild summer with just a few hot days that allowed our fruit to mature gradually. Consequently, our wines boast complex and elegant flavours, fine tannins, and beautiful natural acidity. Our vineyards success this year is a testament to the hard work and dedication we put into caring for it.
Made from a small block of Sauvignon Blanc from our estate vineyard, the fruit was picked early to retain natural acidity and capture the vibrant fruit profile, characteristic of cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc. The juice was pressed to old puncheons on solids and allowed to ferment naturally with wild yeast. The wine remained in oak for three months, stirred month. Racked out in mid-June and bottled in late June 2023. Grown on grey loam clay base on a South Easterly aspect. Indigenous yeast with old French puncheons. 100% whole bunch. – Jarrod Johnson, Airlie Bank
