// Certified Biodynamic vineyard
"We planted our Sauvignon Blanc plot was planted in 1996. These old vines provide more concentration and complexity. These factors, along with biodynamic viticulture, result in a full-bodied profile. Sauvignon Blanc vines are grown on soil where fossils were deposited millions of years ago and silt, a by-product of the Derwent River’s flow eroding its western bank over millennia. This soil diversity contributes to the unique elements of the gravelly, sandy, loamy terroir of the plot. Our 2025 Sauvignon Blanc Fumé has aromas of white peach, jazz apple, elderflower and wet slate. These initial impressions on the nose follow through to the palate, along with musk, Granny Smith apple and pomelo grapefruit. Crafted in a fumé style by maturation in aged Austrian foudres and a single large Italian clay cocciopesto amphora, the resulting wine is gentle with tempered acidity. The finish is long yet astringent, with ample buoyancy in every mouthful. Enjoy now or cellar, with cellaring potential between three and five years." - Winemaker Notes
