Winemaking

The 2010 vintage provided grapes which were harvested at varying levels of ripeness over an intense three week period, resulting in an array of flavours.  The fruit was crushed, pressed and settled for 24 hours before being racked clean off press solids for fermentation. Post blending and prior to bottling, the wine was infused with a fine bead of bubbles.

Winemaker's comments

This Lightly Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc is bursting with gooseberry, passionfruit, fresh citrus, melon and nettle-dominant herbaceous aromas. The wine finishes clean and crisp, with a lingering sparkling in the mouth. The small delicate bubbles of this frizzante style wine enhance the citrus and gooseberry flavours.
