- The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are hand-harvested early in the vintage and at night when it is coolest (between midnight and 2am). The grapes are picked over two tranches – the first picking provides the grassy and elegant tones for our Sauvignon Blanc wines while the second selection provides the riper fruit for the mid-palate that makes this wine so sought after.
- Just before fermentation is complete, a third of the wine is moved into concrete eggs to allow for a more even distribution of the lees contact which enriches the mouthfeel and body of the wine.
- Gentle aromas of elderflower and orange blossom are perfectly balanced with soft lime, passion fruit, green apple and a hint of freshly cut grass.
- Ideal with salads with vinaigrette, goat’s milk cheese, lemon garnished fish dishes and Thai food.

Be brighter!
Every now and then, we delve into the weird and wonderful world of human history and take a (comical) look at some of the crazy things people used to do in the name of looking young and beautiful. We've spoken about drinking gold, putting mayonnaise in your hair and even using leeches in medicine. Oh, how far we've come.
Old teeth whitening tricks are just as bizarre, like using raw peroxide (please, babes, it didn't work for your hair in 2004 and it won't work now) or avoiding coffee completely. Who approved this? No, there are better ways of doing these things, like our deal on purple teeth whitening foam from HVIQAN. Say cheese!
