In recent decades Sauvignon Blanc has become popularized for the style that is "unoaked, fruit driven, and into the glass as quickly as possible" (Jancis Robinson, 2012, Wine Grapes). Its history far preceeds that, most notably through barrel fermented and age-worthy styles that coined the term "Fumé Blanc". Grown at Coleman Road in Gumeracha at an elevation of 480m and a westerly aspect.

For wine nerds like me: High winter rains preceded a cold spring giving an extremely late vintage. Picked on the 24th of March, 8% fermented on skins, the remainder pressed and wild fermented in French oak puncheons. Matured for eight months in barrel, filtered and bottled.
