This cuvée is made from Sauvignon Blanc from the Rapaura, Wairau and Valle Brancott sub-regions. The soils of alluvial origin with rocky outcrops guarantee excellent drainage capacity, while the presence of sea breezes and favorable temperatures contribute to the good development of aromatic density. The grapes are pressed directly after the harvest, and vinification takes place in stainless steel vats, limiting the presence of oxygen to preserve all the aromatic fragrance.
Grape variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
