In 2009 the terroir of the Tupari vineyard combined with careful fruit management produced a vintage of high quality Sauvignon Blanc.  This wine is a blend of two discrete areas of the Tupari vineyard, one a gently sloping North facing block that produces intense passionfruit flavours. The other, situated on a gravellt flat area, yields stone fruit and mineral notes.

At the winery the fruit was gently pressed and the juice fermented as two separate batches.  Yeast strains were selected to enhance the flavours.  The wine was left on the lees for 6 months and stirred weekly to enrich the creamy palate texture.  The two batches were then blended prior to bottling in November 2009.
