Winemaking
Our 2023 Head Over Heels Sauvignon Blanc heralds from two regional grape growing areas – Riverina and Padthaway. The fruit from the warmer region of Riverina was harvested in the cool of the night, at the end of February, once the physiological ripeness was achieved, whilst the Padthaway material was harvested mid - March, once the acidity was tempered and fruit flavours were at an optimum. Fermentation was undertaken separately, in stainless steel vats, using specialised yeast strains selected to elevate aromatics and promote mouth feel. Once complete, the parcels spent a short time on sur lie before blending, clarification, stabilisation and bottling.
Peak drinking
This wine has been lovingly made to enjoy now but will benefit from
careful short term cellaring.
Region
Riverina
Food pairing
Wonderful as an aperitif, that also pairs well with garlic prawns, cedar
plank salmon, or a grilled veggie stack with goat cheese.

"Lemon yellow colour with passionfruit and lemongrass aromas. Simple and sweet tropical fruits on entry, lacking intensity and drive so it falls away very quickly. A hint of sweetness lingers."
