The Vintage

The 2021 vintage saw good rains compared to previous years,  average amount of winter rain which continued into the start of the grow season before stopping for a more mild, yet favourable temperature summer. There were a few cold snaps during flowering which have impacted the early varieties yields, however the fruit quality was excellent and the year produced good sized flavoursome grapes.

Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon

The nose of the 2021 Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon shows bright and fresh citrus with a hint of gooseberry, following through onto the palate the citrus, gooseberry and ripening nashi shine through with crisp, balanced acid, giving the wine great length and a well-rounded lingering finish. This is one of the best we have seen for some years due to the cooler, ideal vintage conditions.
