The 2022 season was not without challenges with significant rain events leading into harvest. Careful fruit selection was required from two sections of organically grown vines around the winery (90%) and Andalane vineyard further down Conder Bend Road a mere 500m from the estate. Soils here are of the old riverbed type with fist sized stones composed of greywacke (a hard, dark type of sandstone streaked with quartz and feldspar), mixed alluvial gravels and silt. Consequently, vine canopies lack vigour, the fruiting zone is more exposed to the elements and yields are naturally lower. These factors produce an atypical style of Sauvignon Blanc.

This Organic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has wonderful aromas of passionfruit, guava, grapefruit, lemon, and elderflower. On the palate, tropical fruit flavours give way to subtle citrus notes of lemon and lime. This wine is generous and complex, with a bright crispness supporting its long finish.
