Tropical notes with a mineral undertone.
A pure, natural expression of Sauvignon Blanc with guava and honeydew melon notes on the nose. The palate is flinty with excellent acidity and stylish, long-lasting finish.
Food Test
ORIGIN
Sourced from the Schaapenberg and lower Schaapenberg vineyards, the highest on the farm. They are southerly-facing and overlook False Bay, leading to natural stress conditions due to strong winds. These also keep the vineyards cool and impart a sense of salinity to these wines.
VINIFICATION
All grapes are hand-picked over an extended period, given the site of the vineyards. They are destemmed in the cellar and undergo a combination of inert and oxidative pressing. The juice is then settled and taken to stainless steel tanks for fermentation, using a variety of yeasts to draw out various characteristics. Regular lees stirring balances the natural high acidity and low PHs. Then we blend, filter and bottle.
