The grapes are whole-bunch pressed and the juice is fermented in barrels. The wine is immediately racked from
the lees to retain fruit freshness and acidity.
Straw Wine, made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes that have been dried to concentrate their juice. The result was a deliciously vibrant, yet sweet and syrupy wine with an alluringly different flavour profile.
Pineapple pieces in syrup, guava and tropical fruits, with subtle lime aromas on the nose. A fresh, juicy palate, its vibrant acidity the perfect counterbalance to sweetly tropical notes.

Produced from a single vineyard block grown at 190m altitude on an east-facing slope in Tukulu soil. Limited sunshine exposure and cooler climes contribute elegance to the wine. Each vine is picked back to a single bunch for concentration of flavour.
The grapes are dried on mats for 2 – 3 weeks and turned minimally, caramelizing flavours on the sun-exposed side, the other conserving acidity. Average yield is 6 tons per hectare, 1.1 tons being used for the Sun-Dried Sauvignon Blanc.
