A typical Bordeaux white, richly textured, well balanced and refreshing. The Sauvignon blanc delivers elegant passionfruit freshness which is laced together by the richness and weight of the Semillon grape.

Vineyard
Well-drained and lightly-structured Clovelly and Avalon 100% Dry-land management. Semillon vines are planted 1.4m apart to avoid density as both Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon can be vigorous in growers. Intensive leaf and shoot management in October allows for even ripeness and enables shade for fruit concentration development.
