Winemaker's Notes
Bright & Flinty
S1 Sauvignon Blanc expresses the unique terrior through flavours of ripe nectarine and pineapple with great texture, and bright, flinty acidity.
S1 Block
Seaview Vineyard
Situated on a north-facing plateau, 160m above sea level and 3.5km from the coast. The soil is wind-blown loess.
Average growing conditions
Warm
Sheltered
Warm, sheltered, inland.
Our S1 block is a sheltered, relatively warm site on our Seaview Vineyard. The subsequent style and flavours reflect this terroir.
Winemaker's Notes
Specialist Yeast
The juice was cold settled for 72 hours, after which the clear juice was racked off. A long, cool fermentation with a specialist Sauvignon Blanc yeast followed to capture and enhance the distinctive fruit flavours created by the S1 block.
