Description

As the Sound of White vineyard matures, we’re finding the best parcel of Sauvignon Blanc coming from ‘D’ block. Planted on silty, clay loams and provides structure and density in the wine. We maintain low yields in ‘D’ block, helping achieve clean, ripe, concentrated flavours in the fruit. Hand-picked fruit was gently whole bunch pressed to tank for 24 hours with only a small addition of sulphur before being run to 500 L French oak puncheons for an uninoculated fermentation. The wine is then left unsulphured on heavy lees for 10 months before blending and bottling.
