Crafted from multiple parcels within our Calrossie vineyard, this Sauvignon Blanc reflects a careful, low-intervention approach from vineyard to bottle. Fruit is harvested in the cool evening to preserve freshness, with a short period of skin contact before gentle pressing to build subtle structure. Fermented primarily in stainless steel with a selection of yeasts, the wine develops lifted aromatics alongside savoury depth and texture, with a small portion barrel fermented for added complexity. Each parcel is kept separate and blended with precision to express the character of the 2025 Calrossie vintage.
