- A refreshing and polished Sauvignon Blanc with pronounced aromas of gooseberry layered with lemon and tropical fruit. Light and zesty with unmistakable purity of fruit and a mouthwatering finish.
The grapes were cooled to 4°C. A combination of whole bunch and crushed pressings was vinified; pressing took place very gently, and only the top-quality juice was vinified. Fermentation took place at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks. The wine was kept on the gross lees for three weeks and racked before spending a further two months on the fine lees, with regular stirring, imparting texture. The wine was aged for approximately four months in a tank to retain the zesty fruit characteristics.

Winery | The grapes are grown in the Cape Agulhas wine region, where the sea breezes from the Atlantic Ocean create a cool microclimate. The winds blow directly off the ocean in both a south-easterly and south-westerly direction, providing consistent freshness throughout the summer and as a result, temperatures seldom reach above 30°C. This cool microclimate creates a slow ripening period, allowing the grapes to build flavour complexity and to produce naturally balanced wines. The diversity of soil types creates wines with great dimension and structure. A triple-wire vertical shoot system is used for trellising, which helps to provide optimum sunlight and airflow and protects the vines and shoots against the wind. Nature-friendly chemical sprays and copper treatments are used if necessary. Satellite technology is used to help determine optimal ripening; the grapes are then hand-harvested during the cool of the early morning. |
