Description
bold & opulent
Winemaker’s Tasting Notes: A wine with a balance of tropical green pea and fig flavours backed with full floral herbaceous undertones on the palate. This full bodied Sauvignon Blanc shows a good balance of the characteristics of the four different terroirs. The wine can well age for another three years.
Viticulture: The grapes for this wine were grown in four different terroirs. 50% come from Durbanville, 35% from Stellenbosch, 5% from Darling, 5% from Elim and 5% from the West Coast. Only the best bunches from the various blocks were harvested separately at night to ensure optimal freshness. A combination of strong clay and sandy soils resulted in berries with green fig, pea and asparagus flavours.
Vinification: On arrival in the cellar, the grapes were destalked and left on the skins before the inoculation of selected yeast strains during cold fermentation. After each of the three tanks received three months of lees contact, the components were blended and left for another four months to ensure a good integration before bottling.
