The Sauvignon Blanc 2025 crop from Vicarage Lane's vineyards was machine-harvested on 25 March and 2 April, yielding 341.93 tonnes of good quality fruit.
The harvested fruit was pressed at Spring Creek Vintners, just a few kilometres from the vineyards, yielding about 269 000 litres of juice, which will be crafted into Vicarage Lane's 2025 under the watchful eye of renowned New Zealand winemaker Alan McCorkindale.
Initial bottling of the finished wine takes place in July and, after rigorous export testing to ensure the wine meets New Zealand’s high export standards, the first export shipment can be expected to arrive in Finland late in the northern summer.
In general 2024-25 was a perfect growing season and the yields were generally bigger than the long term average. Nearly perfect flowering of Sauvignon Blanc produced bigger bunches (more berries per bunch), but the dry and hot weather ensured speedy ripening of good quality grapes.
