Winemaker's notes
Our Single Block wines are the purest expression of our land, showcasing the distinctive flavours from individual vineyard blocks.
The clean, ripe fruit picked from our L5 Block was de-stemmed, chilled and gently pressed off to settle in a small stainless steel tank for 48 hours. The clear juice was racked off and warmed before being inoculated with yeast selected for achieving pure fruit expression. A long, cool fermentation took place over 21 days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was racked, stabilised and filtered before bottling.
Seaview vineyard
L5 Block
The L5 Block is situated in a very exposed area right on the coastline of our Seaview Vineyard. It is the coolest, most extreme site on the vineyard and the subsequent wine reflects this terroir - mineral, salty, crushed oyster shell and wet stone are just a few of the flavours that characterise this unique wine.
