Wine of Origin:
Coastal
Vineyard sites:
Grapes for the 2009 vintage were sourced predominantly from a bushvine vineyard in the Swartland which was planted in 1965. This is recognised as the oldest Sauvignon Blanc vineyard in South Africa.
Winemaking:
Produced from an excellent, cool Sauvignon Blanc vintage, this wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks and the juice was allowed six hours of skin contact prior to pressing. After two months of post-fermentation lees contact the wine was filtered and bottled.
Tasting note:
Classic green pepper aromas, with gooseberries, nettles and green figs. The mouthfeel shows a lovely balance of palate weight and natural acidity, tempered by a subtle minerality.
Analysis:
Alc 13.41%
RS 2.6 g/l
TA 7.5 g/l
pH 3.36
