This tank fermented style of Sauvignon Blanc demonstrates vibrant aromas of passionfruit, lemon grass, and fresh herbaceous notes of mint and jalapeno. The palate shows bright acidity and great length, with ripe citrus flavours balanced by a savoury salinity that is typically seen at Coal Pit from youth through to maturity. This minerality is likely reflective of the high concentration of schist in the soil of the Coal Pit Vineyard.
An elegant varietal expression with fine fruit purity - graceful and light, reflective of both the season and gentle handling in the winery.
Rosie matches this wine with smoked Kahawai and caper paté, charred asparagus with toasted almonds.

The 2020 season was challenging for Gibbston, not least due to the significant restrictions at harvest due to the lockdowns. Careful attention to every aspect of viticulture paid dividends and the vines carried fruit through to ripeness, where good concentration was balanced by brisk acidity.
Vineyard: 100% Sauvignon Blanc, hand harvested from 25+ year old vines.
Vinification: A portion of the grapes were traditionally foot stomped and held on skins overnight to increase complexity. Cool fermentation in stainless steel tank, with 20% indigenous (wild) yeast.
