“Alibi is a white Bordeaux style blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Produced since 2003, it is a crisp and fruit forward wine that is food friendly.”

“After a fairly cool winter, the early wet spring of 2007 brought bud break a little ahead of schedule. The year continued with consistent warm dry weather through flowering. June, July and August were fairly nice and warm without any extreme temperatures. Although the year was a little milder than normal, the vines responded well yielding exceptional, intensely flavoured fruit.”
