Chain Of Ponds Pilot Block Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Harvested in the early hours of the morning by Machine and destemmed without crushing to airbag press. The wine is then partially clarified before being racked for ferment in stainless steel. Left on lees for 3 months to give texture and roundness to the wine then bottled after four months to preserve freshness. 

Normans Holbrooks Road Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Harvested at the cool of night earlier in the season than usual due to the drier ripening season. We crushed the fruit quickly to separate the clear juice from the skins. We used specific yeast for Sauvignon Blanc and after a cool fermentation the wine was carefully filtered and bottled as soon as possible to retain all the appealing fruit flavours.

The Alexander Cameron Limestone Coast Sauvignon Blanc 2019

The individual parcels were machine harvested in the cool of the night and then crushed and pressed on arrival to the winery. Once settled, the clear juices were racked off and inoculated with aromatic yeast strains. One finished ferment; the resulting wines were blended together and prepared to bottle.

Redwood Hills Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2016

Our Wairau Bar Home Vineyard is cane pruned on 3 and 4 cane VSP trellising.  The rich top soils of the lower Wairau Valley have long been considered the finest agricultural soils in Marlborough. They give us complex flavours and pungent aromatics. Combine this with the influence from Rarangi alluvials deposited by the mighty Wairau River hundreds of years ago, and we present a wine brimming with complexity, personality and expression. 

The fruit was harvested in the cool of the morning and transferred to the winery where it underwent temperaturecontrolled fermentation in stainless steel tanks using carefully selected yeast cultures. Post-ferment maturation on fine lees gives the wine a refined texture to compliment the exuberant aromatics.

The 2015/2016 growing season was warm and dry. A couple of heavy, but isolated, rain events in January and March provided some drought relief and kept canopies healthy and green.   There was very little disease pressure leading into harvest, so we were able to pick blocks purely on flavour and ripeness.   The resulting wine is an aromatic and generous expression of Sauvignon Blanc.
