WINEMAKER'S NOTES A new style of Sauvignon Blanc for Margaret River. We worked on making a more luscious, enjoyable style from our best fruit with our own approach. The use of refined winemaking techniques, in particular a focus on wild fermentation, have better captured our version of a more delicious sense of place, highlighting the exciting complexities of the powerful, aromatic, and savoury elements of Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc. The portion of full skins fermentation is very clearly an influence at a higher percentage this year. This represents a further evolution of style, bringing a darker colour and deeper, riper-looking fruit implication, adding incredible texture and structure to the palate. The wine was allowed to develop in beautiful, mostly older, large format French oak for 13 months before blending, followed by a further 4 months to harmonise and refine before bottling. This fruit was picked a month earlier than the last year, so 2020 represents a structured and ripe year.
