Vineyards

Hot and dry vintages are becoming the norm in South Africa, giving us lower yields, good intensity and concentrated fruit. Our vines are all from dry (un-irrigated) vineyards.

Winemaking

Our winemaker has a hands on approach, with each selected parcel of fruit being treated differently and kept separate until final blending. Our cellar is very well equipped to handle fruit driven whites like Sauvignon.

Made by award winning South African winemaker Riaan Oosthuizen.

Style

A classic Sauvignon Blanc made in a style that focuses on preserving the fruit flavours and expressing the true character of the grape.

Tropical flavours are dominant on the nose with earthy, flinty and lengthy kiwi fruit flavours, medium to full bodied with a mineral finish already showing. Pleasant finish with fruit salad aftertaste.

When to drink

Drinking nicely now, this wine has the depth and complexity to develop over the next 2-5 years.

Food match

This fresh citrus Sauvignon will go well with light meals and is an excellent companion for summer afternoon sundowners.
