A refreshing wine bursting with aromas of pungent passionfruit and tropical fruits with fresh herbs and lime notes. The bright pristine palate is filled with juicy, powerful passionfruit add troical fruit flavours. The is a concentrated rich wine finishing long with fresh mouthwatering acidity. 

The yeild of the 2 and 3 cane VSP (vertical shoot positioning) trained vines were closely monitored through the growing season. Targeted shoot thinning was performed to produce optimum canopy growth and yeild control. Each vineyard was carefully monitored during ripening and machine harvested in cool early morning conditions at peak maturity and flavour development. 

The fruit was pressed quickly to minimise skin contact and juice deterioration following harvesting. After settling, the juice was fermented using selected yeasts in stainless steel at cool tempratures retaining fruit flavour and freshess. All individual vineyard parcels were left on light lees and kept seperate until May, when the blend was assembled from the most desirable parcels. The wine was bottled in June.
