AWARDS
FNB Top 10 Sauvignon Blancs 2011
in the vineyard : The 2011 conditions, as challenging as they were, resulted in grapes with beautiful concentrated flavours. Yields were down, but winemakers were generally very pleased with the quality of the grapes.
about the harvest: The gapes where 100% hand picked in the fresh hours of the early morning from four premium wine regions: 50% Stellenbosch, 32% Durbanville, 14% Darling and 4% Franschhoek. This combination brings the unique flavours from each region in full harmony.
in the cellar : The grapes did not receive any skin contact and were gently pressed. Fermentation lasted almost 3 weeks at 12° C with 4% of the wine having been fermented in new French oak barrels for 3 weeks. Then it was left on primary lees for 6 weeks post fermentation.
