Drawn from vines planted on Voyager’s gravelly loam soils, the Sauvignon (80%)—from five different blocks with varied microclimates and flavour profiles—brings fresh, crunchy drive with tropical aromas and flavours, while the Semillon (20%)—sourced from the North Block 10 vineyard planted in 1995—contributes pithy lemon notes, palate weight and structure. Several years of organic farming and Voyager's controlled yields had the grapes in terrific shape for the tricky 2021 season. The whites all displayed beautiful purity and varietal expression with excellent bright natural acidity.
A small component of barrel-fermented Semillon and some lees contact brings additional complexity and texture to the palate, but the wine still has that clean, snappy close expected of this style.
