This delightful Sauvignon Blanc reveals flavours typical of grapes harvested from the cooler climates of the Cape. The crisp acidity refreshes the palate and the tropical fruit spectrum is abundant, with a more secondary role played by the grassy, herbal characters common with this grape variety.
The wine is a marvellous accompaniment to salads, fresh sushi and seafood dishes and selected white meats.

in the vineyard :The build-up to the harvest was fairly normal - a cold and wet winter, followed by a spring which saw a nice, even budding of the grape varieties in the vineyard. November was fairly wet and December was the windiest month recorded in Stellenbosch since 1968. This resulted in dry conditions in the vineyards, which persisted in January and February.
about the harvest:The grapes were harvested from low yielding vines from four different viticulture areas. Each viticulture area gives its own unique flavor profile to the final blend. Wine was mainly sourced from cooler coastal regions.
in the cellar :The grapes were hand-picked in the cool of early morning. Grape bunches were gently destalked with a Bucher de-stalker and lightly crushed. The wine was settled overnight and racked off the sediment. Fermentation took place at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks with a combination of yeast. The wine is made in a fresh fruity style without any wood component.
