The Spring White is a field blend of Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Savagnin all from the Magpie Block, Southern Fleurieu. The site features an E-NE slope of sandy loam with ironstone, quartz over limestone and clay. The vineyard is dry-grown and Matt has been managing it organically since taking over.
The blend is roughly equal parts of the three varieties, which were harvested on the same day and co-fermented in a clay amphora. The wine was left on lees for 4 months before being blended and bottled to capture the freshness and immediacy of the new season’s wine. The 2026 vintage carries the hallmark mineral acid and talc-y grip of the Magpie Block, but with a fleshy citrus and custard apple mid-palate, and refreshing tonic water and sherbet lift.
