Terroir:
Gentle slopes exposed to the micro-climate of the Atlantic Ocean results in the vineyards being influenced by the cool air-flows and morning mists so typical of a maritime climate. In summer a firm south-easter wind fans the vines ensuring temperate and sunny ripening conditions. Along with dryland farming on soils of decomposed granite with a high clay content, the vines offer intensely flavoured fruit, resulting in wines of elegance, character and structure.
Oenology:
Traditional reductive Sauvignon Blanc Winemaking. Three weeks before bottling, 3% fresh Cabernet Sauvignon was added to the Sauvignon Blanc until the perfect rosy coral colour was matched.
Matura on:
Post Fermentation lees contact for 1 month, stirred up once a week to enhance mouth feel and concentration. Blended 3 weeks before bottling and stabilization.
Winemaker’s notes:
Delicate, fruity and lively, with distinctive Sauvignon Blanc aromas of passion fruit and lime, with hints of the cherry and strawberry flavours of Cabernet Sauvignon. A balanced palate with crisp acidity and fruity undertones.
Food suggestions:
Served well chilled on any occasion.
