A true old school SB.

Expressive aromatics with ripe yellow citrus such as grapefruit and subtle hints of wet stone. A powerful palate with volume and mouthfeel. Flavours of passion and stone fruit, sweet herbs, and a fine boned acid finish.

Each parcel of fruit is kept separate in the winery. Juices were predominately fermented in stainless steel using several different treatments, however 10% of the final wine was fermented in oak and acacia puncheons. A small component was fermented on skins. 80% of the blend was aged on ferment lees for 5 months prior to being blended and bottled.

"Pungent, fresh, herbaceous and fruity with flavours of lemon and grapefruit, cape gooseberry and pineapple, fresh sage leaf and apple. Crisp and dry as the wine touches the palate, the acid line is distinctive carrying flavours and textures throughout [the palate]. Well made and ready to drink from early 2024 through 2027." Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, November 2023 (2023 Vintage)
