Greywacke Wild Sauvignon Blanc

Details

The nose is defined by aromas of rock melon, ginger, lime zest and toasted coconut. Lemon curd and tangelo flavours provide a juicy foundation to the expansive, full-flavoured palate. Lush and textural in style, the generous fruit is balanced by vibrant acidity and chalky oyster shell notes.

Vinification: Some vineyards were machine harvested during cool night-time conditions, and others by hand during the day. The grapes were lightly pressed and the juice cold-settled prior to racking into French oak barriques, a small percentage of which were new. The juice underwent spontaneous indigenous yeast fermentation with occasional lees stirring. Approximately two-thirds underwent malolactic fermentation. It was transferred out of oak prior to the following harvest and left on lees for a further six months. Bottling took place in September 2024.
