This coastal position creates a distinctly cool climate, with strong maritime winds and significant day–night temperature shifts that slow ripening and preserve natural acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"433\" data-end=\"873\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"875\" data-end=\"1338\"\u003eThe estate focuses on site-driven wines, with all grapes grown, vinified, and bottled on the property. Sauvignon Blanc is particularly well suited to this environment, developing lifted aromatics alongside a saline, mineral edge that reflects its ocean proximity. Winemaking combines stainless steel fermentation for freshness with partial barrel work and lees ageing to build texture and complexity without losing clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"875\" data-end=\"1338\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1431\" data-end=\"1517\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1442\" data-end=\"1445\"\u003ePale straw with a bright green tint, crisp and youthful in appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1431\" data-end=\"1517\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1519\" data-end=\"1709\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"1528\" data-end=\"1531\"\u003eAromatic and precise, showing green fig, grapefruit, and gooseberry, layered with flinty notes and hints of tropical fruit and lemon zest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1519\" data-end=\"1709\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1711\" data-end=\"1978\"\u003ePalate:\u003cbr data-start=\"1722\" data-end=\"1725\"\u003eLight- to medium-bodied with vibrant acidity.
