Coastal Cuvée Sauvignon Blanc 2022 - 15% Discount
Sauvignon Blanc, Western Coast, South Africa

4.5 Stars in Platter's.

VINTAGE CHARACTERISTICS
An uncharacteristically cold and wet start to the growing season ensured
good dormancy in the vines, while an early warm January brought the
ripening period forward. Reds delivered dark colour and impressive
structure quite early in the harvest, balanced by higher-than-average
acidity. Overall, it was a promising vintage.

VINEYARDS & HARVEST
The grapes were handpicked in the early hours from four premium wine
regions: Durbanville, Stellenbosch, Darling, and Franschhoek (Semillon).
This combination showcases the unique flavours from each region.

VINIFICATION
The grapes received partial skin contact and were gently pressed,
retaining freshness. Fermentation lasted 3 weeks at 15 ?C. An 8% barrel
fermented Semillon component contributes to additional body and
dimension. It was left on the lees for 5 months post fermentation, adding
to the depth of flavour.

TASTING NOTES
Our Coastal Cuvée is rich in tropical fruit flavours, underpinned by layers
of blackcurrant, gooseberry and nettles. Well balanced and complex, it
finishes long, with concentrated fruit and fresh, crisp acidity.

Varietal Composition: 96% Sauvignon Blanc, 4% Semillon
