The Sauvignon Blanc 2021 crop from Vicarage Lane's vineyards was machine-harvested on 19, 20 and 23 March, yielding 191.08 tonnes of good quality fruit.
The harvested fruit was pressed at Spring Creek Vintners, just a few kilometres from the vineyards, yielding 144,070 litres of juice, which will be crafted into Vicarage Lane's 2021 Sauvignon Blanc under the watchful eye of renowned New Zealand winemaker Alan McCorkindale.
Initial bottling of the finished wine takes place in May 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 2020-21 was a cooler and dryer than average season with very slow, long flowering. This poor flowering weather has led lower than average crops, with some very nice, intense flavours.
