Winery Overview Gapsted Estate works with growers across north eastern Victoria, including the King Valley, where cooler conditions help white wines keep their freshness and clarity. The Buffalo range is made to be straightforward and easy to enjoy, focusing on clean flavours and balance rather thancomplexity. This Sauvignon Blanc is a good example of that style. Region and Vintage Conditions The King Valleys elevation and cooler climate allow Sauvignon Blanc to ripen slowly, helping preserve natural acidity and fresh aromatics. The 2023 season was cooler and more challenging than usual, with lower yields but good fruit quality. The slower ripening helped develop flavour without losing freshness, resulting in a clean and well-balanced wine. Winemaking Techniques The fruit was harvested at the right time to keep the wine bright and fresh. After gentle pressing, the juice was clarified and fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures. This approach helps retain varietal aromas and keeps the wine crisp and focused. The wine was kept on fine lees briefly to add a little texture, without softening its freshness. Tasting Notes Appearance Pale straw with green highlights.Aroma Fresh citrus, passionfruit, and cut herbs with subtle grassy notes.Palate Light to medium-bodied, showing flavours of lime, grapefruit, and tropical fruit, balanced by clean acidity.Finish Crisp and refreshing, with a clean, dry finish.
