Wedderwill Sauvignon Blanc 2006

The typical, mineral-richness of the farm is evident again in this subtly complex wine. Whiffs of nettles, gooseberries and tropical flavours combine on the nose with hints of asparagus, green peppers and figines. The notes grow and build and linger on the palate and are excellent expressions of the rich terroir of Wedderwill. A zingy, crisp liveliness combined with a great ageing potential make this an excellent wine to collect and keep.

in the vineyard : This very versatile variety of grape comes from a south-facing slope, with strong soils of Oakleaf, Clovelly and a little Tukulu giving us a wide selection of excellent grapes to choose from. We only choose the most suitable grapes off these blocks, with only the highest quality for our small production volume. These blocks are characterised by cooler temperatures, low radiation and winds. As seventy-percent of our Sauvignon Blanc vineyards have been recently planted, we believe these have great future potential in increasing our quality.

Season: In every vintage, there's something new
We've had a warm, dry autumn with an early winter and good rainfall towards the end. The critical flowering and berry set stages went off well with some initial uneven shoot growth (autumn). A warm January and February with some rainfall was followed by a cooler March. Winds were moderate - all in all resulting in a stunning season.

Composition
Made from the best 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the blocks: De Werf 1, De Werf 2 and De Werf 3.
