RRP $30 / 2021

64.54% sauvignon blanc, 35.46% semillon, hand-picked, cold-crushed, fermented in French barriques (33% new), matured for 9 months. Meticulous vinification achieves the desired explosive flavours of lemon skin, zest and juice in a single, mouthwatering stream of flavours. Natural acidity, preserved by preventing mlf, is a constant companion through to the extremely long finish and aftertaste. 13% alc.

SENIOR VINEYARD MANAGER AND VITICULTURIST Christopher Gillmore What can you tell us about the sites for this wine?

Small batch, carefully grown sauvignon blanc and semillon parcels are chosen from only the best soils in the best blocks, with consistent vintage performance at Bridgelands Vineyard for more than 18 years. Hand-picked; barrel fermented; aged and battonaged in French Oak. It’s a perfect match to spicy Asian seafood dishes now, but designed to age, growing in complexity for up to 10 years.
