The grapes were picked in two lots (the first before the fruit had fully ripened in order to capture the aromatic nature of the Sauvignon Blanc and the second to bolster the sugar content) at the beginning of August. Close proximity to the winery allowed for immediate crushing and chilling. Only the free run juice was used to make this wine. After crushing the juice was allowed some skin contact to extract further flavour. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, after which, the wine was allowed to sit on light lees for several months, improving its body and mouth feel.
