Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Deliciously aromatic with scents of honeydew melon and orange blossom, delicately infused with herb garden botanicals. A bright, seasonal expression, with juicy lemon and steely cassis flavours and a generously textured palate garnished with a flourish of pastis and wildflowers. A wine with impressive structure and depth, this is Marlborough sauvignon blanc with the volume turned down a notch.
Harvested largely by machine during cool (often cold) night-time conditions, the fruit was picked earlier than normal at high sugar levels over a 3-week period, commencing 16 March. Transported directly to our winery in the Omaka Valley, fruit was lightly pressed to yield a modest volume of high-quality juice. The juice was cold-settled and racked prior to fermentation, which was primarily carried out in stainless steel tanks with cultured yeast. All individual vineyard batches were left on lees until late June, when the blend was assembled."

"The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc was hand delivered to me in Fremantle by winemaker Richelle Tyney from Greywacke, all the way from Marlborough, New Zealand—roughly 5,200 kilometers between us. The wine leads with passion fruit and white pineapple, green apple, beeswax and brine. The wine is salty, fine and sedate—the characters are all in balance with each other. I love this wine from this small producer. It is intense and concentrated, shaped by savoury phenolics and loaded with crunchy New Zealand acidity. This speaks of the place in a clear, unfettered voice, and it's brilliant for that."
Joelle Thomson, drinksbiz Magazine, March/April 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"This wine has bright, juicy and tropical aromas but absolutely bone-dry flavours. The grapes come from vineyards in the Southern Valleys and Wairau Plains in Marlborough so the flavours represent the region’s varied climates and topography, revealing bold lemongrass and vibrant red apple, along with tropical passionfruit. Most grapes were hand-picked and all were lightly pressed and cold settled to retain fresh fruit flavours. Lees ageing adds further depth and weight. Drink now or over the next seven to eight years."
