2024 Sauvignon Blanc

With the 2024 vintage we looked to evolve our Sauvignon Blanc and step into new territory, showing unprecedented complexity and striking character. Primary aromatics of crisp citrus (lemon, lime and grapefuit), green apple, candied pineapple and herbaceous notes of chive and nettle give way to subtle secondary notes of fruit-yogurt, courtesy of autolysis. The palate mirrors the nose, with focus on pink grapefruit, bright lemon  and a hint of green bell pepper and beeswax / honey. The acidiy is bright, but balanced and highlights the finish, which is long and languid.

Our Sauvignon Blanc was picked on September 17th at 6am using a machine harvester with an optical sorter attached. The fruit was pressed within 15 minutes of being picked, highlighting our reductive winemaking practices. Pressed at under one bar of pressure, the juice was cold settled for 24 hours before inoculation with a specific yeast strain. Fermentation lasted three weekes at temperatures below 18°C. The wine was racked and left on fine lees for two months, before being barreled down into neutral 225L French oak barriques, and bâttonaged one per month for 13 months. The wine was racked, fined and bottled unfiltered on February 23rd, 2026.
