Tasting Notes
On the nose grass, nettles and a hint of passionfruit. The palate shows delicious crisp and zesty acidity with a hint of citrus. Awesome with natural oysters.

Vineyard Notes
Initially 2024 was a typical warm, dry season then became wet and windy as sub-tropical weather systems pushed south in December and January before returning to a warm and dry season. It was colder than average from budburst to flowering, then windy and cold during flowering which extended this phase of grape development. We had a wet and windy December. We then had a turnaround, with a dry end of season – a few hot days in early February and then March was terrific for ripening wine grapes; warm temperatures during the day and cooler temperatures at night.
Winemaking
Winemaker Notes
The Keep it Simple Silly (KISS) winemaking theory (and practise) prevails with our Bosworth Sauvignon Blanc. Joch picks the SB just before the flavour profile of the grapes becomes more tropical . We like a hint of tropical fruit characters (passion fruit and pineapple), but not a mass onslaught – that’s for the Kiwis! Our Sauvignon Blanc tends more towards grassy characters, with that slight hint of tropical fruit. Once picked and pressed off skins, the grapes undergo a temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. We keep oxygen away from the wine to preserve the delicate aromatics of the grapes.
