Each parcel of the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc was crushed direct to press. The juice from each parcel was cold settled before being racked and warmed to separate tanks, yeasted for fermentation in tank. Two small parcels were sent to barrel for fermentation on lees to add complexity to the blend. Each parcel was left on lees until blending.

Aromas of white grapefruit pith with freshly crushed nettle, complimented by subtle lychee notes and mineral chalk.
The palate is refreshing, textural and layered, demonstrating flavours of citrus and grapefruit with mouth-watering acid that finishes clean and soft with great persistence.
Growing up in the Barossa Valley, winemaker Richard Mattner was never far from wine. His grandfather's vineyard at the highly-regarded Light Pass district was Richard's playground during the school holidays. Upon leaving school, Richard gained employment as a cellar hand and began a career in the wine industry in 1993. Richard was destined to be a winemaker and in 2004 he graduated from Charles Sturt University with Bachelor of Applied Science (Wine Science). Richard says winemaking is an art and just another way of creatively expressing himself. In addition to his passion for red wine, Richard has a keen interest in all things sports and loves nothing more than to relax with friends and enjoy a char-grilled scotch fillet on the barbeque perfectly matched with a bottle of wine, of course.
