'2024 was a beautiful vintage, blessed with optimal cool climate ripening conditions. January and February the critical times that determine vine and grape health were dry but not overly hot, great for capturing pure aromatic expression and weight on the palate. 20% of the blend is from whole bunch fermentation and another 10% fermented with skins only. These skins portions give an intense aromatic profile of lime, rosemary, jasmine and sherbet. Savoury notes of cashew nuts and gouda cheese follow through to an intense, textured palate with great length. The remainder of the fruit is fermented in barrel, giving weight and complexity. This style of Sauvignon Blanc is far removed from what has come to be expected from New Zealand. A fantastic expression of our place.
A deep concentrated style, with 40% whole bunch fermentation, skin contact gives an intense aromatic profile of nectarine, fennel flowers, melon and manuka honey. Spicey notes of cardamon pod follow through to an intense, concentrated, and powerful palate. This is a serious style of Sauvignon Blanc far removed from what has come to be expected from NZ. A unique expression of the small 2021 harvest, with palate weight that is long, dry and balanced. A fantastic food wine.'
