Colour

Bright straw with green hue

Tasting notes

Our Pinot Grigio exhibits varietal characters of pear, honeysuckle and pineapple fruit aromas. The luscious palate is redolent with stone fruit flavours and a crisp citrus finish.

Winemaker’s notes

The fruit was monitored in the vineyard and picked at optimum flavour ripeness. It was then de-stemmed with the rollers wide open and pressed as gently as possible to prevent colour pick up and consequent over fining. Cold fermented with selected yeast strains, it was left to age on lees for 3 months. The wine was then racked off lees, left to age in stainless steel tanks, then bottled at 6 months to retain the varietal flavours of Pinot Grigio fruit.

Colour

Bright straw with green hue

Tasting notes

This wine is redolent with the aromas of peach, stone-fruit and melon, complemented by delicate citrus flavours and smoky oak characters. Vibrant and lively on the palate, it is medium in weight and possesses a crisp,citrus forward, lingering finish.

Winemaker’s notes

By staging the picking from 12-14.5 baume, we are able to achieve a broad spectrum of flavours. The fruit is harvested through the cold of night and promptly transported to the winery where it is crushed and pressed as gently as possible. The juice is then fermented at cool temperatures to retain fruit aromas. Post ferment, the wine is aged on French oak with a portion held clean, another portion subjected to lees stirring and a final portion undergoing the secondary malo-lactic-fermentation

Colour

Deep ruby with purple hue.

Tasting notes

This wine balances the typical blackcurrant, mint and herbal characters of the variety with ripe strawberry, jammy aromas. A layer of sweet American and fine French oak adds complexity and depth. The fruit bouquet is complemented by a rich, full palate with soft tannins and a long finish.

Winemaker’s notes

Cabernet Sauvignon can tread a fine line between being thin and weedy, or being stewed and non-varietal. With the implementation of selected organic practices in our vineyards, we have been able to retain the traditional Cabernet varietal flavours complemented by riper blackcurrant, cassis fruit flavours. With cooler ferment temperatures and pumping over 3 times per day, the extraction of colour, flavour and tannin was optimised. The wine was aged on French oak, blended when in balance, minimally filtered and bottled.
