Vintage Notes

The 2020 growing season began with a mild winter and early bud break. A cool spring extended the season, followed by a moderate, temperate summer with ideal growing conditions for developing mature, layered flavours and structure. This vintage will be marked by its bright, crisp acidity and attractive fruit notes.

Winemaking Notes

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes were gently pressed as whole clusters. The wine was fermented and aged in neutral French oak barrels to highlight the beautiful acidity of the fruit, while enhancing its complexity. The vintage was 100% barrel fermented in neutral oak. We extended contact with lees and incorporated lees stirring to impart a rich texture, balanced by the bright acidity of the wine.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of orange zest, Key lime and white florals leap from the glass. The palate is beautifully textured and weighty, complimented by bright. mouth-watering acidity. Layered notes of fresh-Cut green apple, white peach, lychee and citrus on the palate linger on the refreshingly crisp finish. Our 2020 Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with a wedge of soft goat cheese atop roasted peaches.
