Tasting Notes: An expressive Sauvignon blanc with a light straw colour. This modern Stellenbosch Sauvignon blanc with riper fruit nuances, creates a pleasant mouth filling texture. Upfront tropical fruit flavours are complimented by nuances of gooseberries and figs. A well balanced natural acidity ensures a lingering finish.

Winemaking: The grapes are handpicked in bins during cool early mornings. Three hour skin contact for optimum fruit extraction, still obtaining the natural acidity. Lower juice recovery at the press for extracting the finest essence of the grape. After the juice settled clear for two days, it is inoculated with a selected yeast strain. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 12°C-15°C. After fermentation the wine is kept on the lees as long as possible and with regular stirring it enhances the mouthfeel.
