The 2009 Sauvignon Blanc was hand harvested from blocks 6a and 6b on our estate. Whole fruit bunches were loaded directly into the press and a gentle pressing cycle provided a very delicate juice. The clarified juice was fermented at 11 degrees. The finished wine is almost clear with green hues. Aromas of citrus and tropical guava fruit lift from the glass. The fine citrus palate finishes with a hint of tropical fruit and crisp acidity.

The 2008 Sauvignon Blanc was harvested from block 6a on our estate. The fruit was crushed and pressed and fermentation was at 12 degrees. Bottling immediately followed in May of 2008 to ensure the full freshness of the wine was captured. The wine is a light lemon colour with green hues. Aromas of lime, lychee, and citrus abound. The palate is full and generous with a crisp acidity.

The Daily Examiner (Grafton) - Weekend Edition September 20-21, 2008 - Food and Wine "Grape Expectations": Max Crus - 8.4 / 10 : "Great Dinner prep wine.  Not too tart for tomato, not too passiony for prosciutto, but bright enough to liven a choko.  Just kidding, nothing livens a choko, but its pretty good with everything else".
