Winemaker
Andrew Gordon, owner, and Michel Coutin, winemaker and general manager.

Vinification
The best sauvignon blanc grapes are left on the vine to ripen for a few extra days, hand-picked, then after maceration are carefully pressed and run into new oak casks to ferment, and remain in barrel for several months to develop complexity.

Grapes
Sauvignon blanc.

Tasting Notes
Wonderful concentration - compare it to an expensive Californian Fumé Blanc. A wine to drink young, although the acidity and good intensity mean it will keep for another 2 years.
