Tasting Notes

Region:
The fruit for this wine was harvested from our Deakin Estate
vineyard in Red Cliffs, North West Victoria.
Harvest Date:
Early February.
Vinification:
We watch our Sauvignon fruit like a hawk as it ripens because
picking decisions make this wine. I love being right on the edge of
herbaceous, just moving in to sub-tropical. It's a brilliant, fresh
and pungent place to be. Cold fermentation then careful blending
and finishing are all that follows . so we make sure we get the
first bit right and the rest is easy.
