Vineyards and Vintage Conditions

The 2019 vintage of the Sauvignon Blanc was marked by a warm growing season, allowing the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness while retaining the varietal's signature acidity. The Bendigo region's diverse soils and climate contribute to the development of complex flavours and aromas in the wine.

Winemaking

The grapes were harvested at night to preserve freshness and fermented in stainless steel tanks to maintain the purity of the fruit flavours. The wine was left on lees for a short period to enhance texture and mouthfeel, resulting in a balanced and expressive Sauvignon Blanc.
