Rested in Oak Sauvignon Blanc 2024

The outstanding 2024 vintage inspired the decision to mature a portion of the Sauvignon Blanc in used 500L French oak barrels.

When Trudy and I tasted the wine two years later, we were blown away by its intensity and beautiful energy. We decided to bottle our first-ever Rested in Oak Sauvignon Blanc. Just 119 cases produced.

$35.00 NZD

Tasting Notes

Dragged from sleep, this barrel-aged Sauvignon Blanc is wide awake and resounding. Punchy gooseberry, marzipan and brilliant sunshine.

A big wine with a long, luminous finish.

Two vibrant green bunches of Pinot Blanc just before harvest. Around the grapes there are some wooden canes and green leaves. In the background green grass and the next row of vines can be seen with white bird netting draped over it.

Waiting for great things to come!

Vegan friendly

To make this wine, we haven't used classic fining agents such as fish, milk, or egg extracts and only minimal additives.

This means our Sauvignon Blanc is natural and vegan friendly.

The season

We enjoyed a near-perfect spring, with ample sunshine and just the right amount of rain to keep the vines thriving.

Despite a drought in February and March, our old, deep-rooted vines managed to access sufficient water to ripen a beautiful crop.

Harvest 2024 proved to be one of our finest vintages to date. Free from disease or weather challenges, the grapes were hand-picked in excellent health and rich concentration by our dedicated, small team of regulars.
Big smiles all around!
