Intense aromas of guava, gooseberry, nettles and blackcurrants dominate with undertones of lychee and chalk dust. The palate is fresh and vibrant with high natural acidity balanced by weight, texture and a long persistent finish. Taking its name from the fluted basalt boulders that solemnly surround the volcanic hilltop vineyards, 'Gravestone' is a blend of the very finest Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon harvested each vintage.

Winemaking
As always the fruit was hand harvested and in 2013 in excellent condition. We harvest the Sauvignon blanc based on the acidity and generally find very exotic fruit characters. Sémillon we get as ripe as possible looking for very ripe and golden bunches. The Sémillon and a portion of the Sauvignon Blanc was fermented seperately in oak puncheons as clear juice and cultured yeast and the remainder Sauvignon Blanc in tank as cloudy juice and wild yeast.
