"Old vine Sémillon nurtured organically by Fiona Wood in her own vineyard in Mc Laren
Flat. The Vines grow just below a Fauna & Flora Reserve on a gentle slope facing
straight south on deep sand over clay soil.
The Semillon grapes were picked by hand & whole bunch pressed in our screw press for
a gentle & phenolic pressing style.
After pressing, the Semillon juice settled overnight and got racked clear off its gross lees
to start a clean & steady fermentation in Stainless Steel.
The Sauvignon Blanc was hand picked about a month later from the later ripening
organically farmed Magpie Spring vineyard which produce a really fragrant &
balanced grappes on dark loam on clay soils.
The Sauvignon Blanc underwent the same winemaking as the Semillon & the two got
blended together after they both achieved alcoholic & malolactic fermentation.
Elevage in stainless steel for 7 month & bottled on site in our Basket Range winery
without fining nor filtration.
