"Powerful, precise and classic DP SB with a core of fresh citrus and tropical fruits, an abundance of fresh herbs, minerality and style. On the palate - silky, fresh, salivating and fruity. All the attributes displayed in the bouquet come alive on the palate leading to a lively and refreshing example, well made, lengthy and ready. best drinking from today and through 2026" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Nov 2020

Pale straw in colour. Pure, citrus driven Sauvignon with subtle, riper tones of pear and white peach reflecting the warm and dry growing season. The palate bursts with fresh grapefuit and meyer lemons with juicy flavours and generous concentration and refreshing acidity.

A warm growing season with very dry conditions between January and April with only 45mm falling (less than 30% of average). A season which will be remembered for other reasons however, with a global pandemic affecting staffing movements and logistics but one where calm decision making and patience resulted in perfect ripening conditions and a very rewarding season. One of the best the region has experienced in recent years. 

Handpicked fruit is whole bunch pressed and cold settled before fermentation. A portion of this wine is fermented using indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for 4 months in stainless steel tanks then bottled without fining. 

Food Pairing: The wine would sit comfortably alongside a dozen oysters shared with or without socal distancing!
