Sauvignon Blanc from Stellenbosch: Premium Wine from the Coastal Region
This Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from selected vineyards in South Africa’s Coastal Region, including the Klippies, Peperboom, Plank, Cabernet, and Klapmutskop parcels. The vineyards are located southwest, at altitudes between 300 and 440 meters, which gives the wine its characteristic freshness and complexity. The soils, consisting of sand, clay, and loam, contribute to the minerality and rich flavor profiles of the wine.
Winemaking: Careful and Innovative
The grapes are harvested in the morning to bring them to the winery while maintaining the fresh aromas. After destemming and crushing, the grapes are gently pressed, with a portion remaining in contact with the skins for six hours. The juice is then cold-fermented in stainless steel and concrete tanks at controlled temperatures of 13 to 15 degrees Celsius. The wine undergoes several months of “sur lie” aging, which contributes to a creamy texture and increased complexity in flavor.
