Sauvignon Blanc 2021
Sauvignon Blanc, Stellenbosch, South Africa

The block gets harvested over a number of days, not all at once, as is usually the case. Why? Well, typically, grapes don’t all ripen at the same time, so we study each row.

The grapes were entirely hand-picked, between daybreak and mid-morning. Reductive winemaking methods were applied in making the wine.  The grapes were gently crushed, followed by four hours of skin contact. After a cool, 2 week fermentation the wine spent four months on the primary lees, with a twice a month batonage. The wine was stabilized and filtered pre-bottling.

TASTING NOTES:
The nose displays a bright, lime zest aroma with oodles of capsicum and gooseberries. The palate is clean with well
balanced acidity. The lime and gooseberry flavours are reflected here, with a lingering, fresh finish.

FOOD MATCHING:
Goats cheese either baked, in a salad or on its own. Fish whether it be baked, steamed, fried or served as a soup.
Also, lime, coriander, light chilli and garlic when cooked with fish, chicken or vegetables.

Varietal Composition: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
