Grown in the cool Elgin Valley, Catherine Marshall’s Sauvignon Blanc showcases the variety's expressive potential in a climate that enhances both fruit concentration and natural acidity. The wine opens with generous aromas of melon, lychee, passion fruit, and ripe nectarine, layered over a bright core of pink grapefruit and lime. The palate is juicy and energetic, with a balance of tropical richness and citrus-driven precision that finishes crisp and refreshing. This is a lively, fruit-forward Sauvignon Blanc with just the right touch of elegance and zip
Grapes are hand harvested at around 21 – 22.80 Balling. After pressing, the must is settled to allow for solids to settle to the bottom of the tank, From two days, the clear juice is decanted off the solids. Fermentation is inoculated with a commercial yeast strain particularly suited to Sauvignon Blanc and the temperature is maintained at 140 Celsius. The wine is kept on gross lees (yeast solids) for 4 months and stirred periodically to enhance mid- palate richness. The final wine is lightly fined and filtered into bottle
