in the vineyard :

After experimenting in the vineyards for a couple of years we are now confident that we know the viticultural recipe to create a light range of varietal wines with exceptional quality at a very modest alcohol level.

Three vineyards from three of our grower farms were identified te be harvested early to create this Sauvignon Blanc. All three vineyards are planted in alluvial soils, with two situated on the banks of the Breede River and one on the banks of the Cogmanskloof River. We tend to allow more vigorous growing conditions for the Sauvignon Blanc and try to keep the canopy more dense in order to maintain the grassy flavours, typical of Sauvignon Blanc.
