Description
Sauvignon Blanc is arguably our least known wine but surprises us by being our most successful label in terms of volume sales; and is certainly South Africa’s best performing white wine. Our geographic location, lying within five kilometres of the cool Atlantic Ocean, offers the most ideal temperature zone of the Cape. Added to this, the heavy shale clay soil that typifies the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley lends an inviting tropical tone to the flavour profile of this vintage.
VINIFICATION
Sauvignon Blanc enjoys a very direct approach when it comes to its cellar handling. 20% of the grapes harvested received 12 hours of skin contact. This portion exaggerates the flavour components and boosts the structure of the final wine. The balance receives immediate crushing and full extraction of fresh, free run juice off the press. Here in lies the floral and tropical tones which are so akin to our Sauvignon Blanc taste profile. Once fermentation is complete the wine was allowed to remain on its primary lees until close to bottling.

Tasting Notes
COLOR:
Straw yellow with green hues.
NOSE:
The nose is fragrant and the palate portrays rich tropical fruit tones of granadilla, guava and litchi.
TASTE:
The wine is crisp, creamy, and lingering with an eventual harmonious palate finish.
