After a career in finance and accountancy, Hayden Johnson, who is also behind Tarras and Kuru Kuru, established his wine venture in 2002. This offering is not your mainstream Sauvignon Blanc. While it is pungent with typical goosberry aromas, it offers the refinement and elegance of a French Sauvignon Blanc with plenty of complexity and lemon zest on the finish. The oak is very subtle and adds a nice texture to it.
