VINTAGE CHARACTERISTICS
Severe weather fluctuations during bud break and flowering, followed by
cool windy conditions contributed to less and uneven bunches and smaller
berries. White wines have shown good acidity and balanced flavour
profiles while reds, despite the challenging season, have shown elegance.
VINEYARDS & HARVEST
The grapes were handpicked in the early hours from the broader Western
Cape region. Covering a vast area of over 400 kms, vineyards were
selected from several premium wine regions in an effort to showcase the
unique diversity in flavour profiles available within the Western Cape.
GRAPE VARIETALS
96% Sauvignon Blanc & 4% Semillon
VINIFICATION
The grapes did not receive any skin contact and were gently pressed.
Fermentation lasted 3 weeks at 15˚C. The wine was left on its primary
lees for 5 weeks post fermentation and, after blending, an extra 3 months
on fine lees.
TASTING NOTES
A classic maritime Sauvignon Blanc, this wine reveals aromas of cut
grass, asparagus and hints of citrus tropical fruit. Discover a multilayered,
mouth feel, crisp vibrancy with flavours of Cape gooseberry and zesty
fruit with a mineral finish.
