Harvest:Parcels for this wine were selected from two separate blocks. The vines in both vineyards are now 15 years old and the crop load was managed to ensure ripeness in which was an optimal growing season. The Sauvignon Blanc vineyard was canopy managed to increase shading, which in turn helps maintain varietal gooseberry flavours. The vineyard performed well during the growing season with minimal sunburn or complications.

Winemaking:A portion of the fruit was cold-soaked for eight hours prior to pressing. The second parcel was harvested eight days later. The first component was an austere style with high natural acid. The second displayed the more ripe characters of passionfruit and gooseberry with less acidity. Fermentation of the free-run juice was performed in stainless steel tanks at 14 (degrees) C to maintain freshness, whilst aromatic yeasts were used to promote aromatics. Several blending trials were conducted to develop the best blend that displays classic Sauvignon Blanc characters.

Viticulture:From a Cowra, NSW vineyard planted in the mid-1990s on land which was once a free-range piggery.
