Aroma - Very pungent, with passionfruit, lime citrus, ripe pineapple, hints of nectarine and green capsicum and the slightest note of lanolin. Palate - This wine shows tropical notes of pineapple, and guava, herbal overtones of dill and the slight aroma of tomato leaf. Back palate shows citrus grapefruit and that typical mineral character that you get from the Awatere Valley. Lovely waxy mouth feel and crispy acid to finish.
100% Sauvignon Blanc
The 2008-09 season can only be described as almost perfect. Spring weather was warm and windy. Cooler weather prior to Christmas had some impact on flowering and fruit set, which resulted in fewer berries per bunch naturally lowering the yield per vine, whilst the long hot dry spell over the New Year helped to ward off any potential disease. Through our use of canopy manipulation techniques such as 2 cane pruning, higher trimming and leaf plucking we created a micro climate within the canopy which aided in controlling disease and producing better quality fruit with increased flavour concentration.
