MAN Vintners Sauvignon Blanc 2007

The MAN Vintners Sauvignon Blanc has a lively bouquet of fruit reminiscent of pineapple and limes with a flinty touch. A refreshingly crisp Sauvignon Blanc that goes well with an afternoon lounging in the sun.

Good with sushi, fish dishes and salads or simply as an aperitif. Serve chilled.

in the vineyard : Grapes from vineyards situated in the Perdeberg Hills area as well as from a premium vineyard in the cooler climate Durbanville area.

Grapes were healthy, with lower alcohol levels than typical. The previous winter was cold with adequate rain, while the early summer was mild but dry. Harvest time saw milder temperatures with fewer heat waves, cooler nights and more cooling southern winds than usual. Somewhat windy conditions during the season made for smaller bunches which resulted in concentrated wines. Both white and red wines look very good for this harvest.

about the harvest: Average production was 7 tons/ha. The grapes were regularly tasted to ensure optimum flavours at harvest.
