Our Sauvignon Blanc shows typical cooler climate aromas with flint notes, flavours of grass, granadilla and gooseberry. The wine is perfectly balanced with fresh acidity, rich minerality and a crisp, yet smooth finish. The wine was bottled under Stelvin closure to ensure optimal freshness and no cork-taint!

AWARDS

4 out of 5 Stars in the WINE magazine 2010 Top 10 Sauvignon Blanc competition

ageing : Drink Now or through the next 5 years.

in the vineyard : The 2011 Sauvignon Blanc is showcases the expression of fruit from our vineyards in Elgin.

The vineyards are aged between 4 - 6 years and every year we are more excited about the quality of the fruit from our Casey's Ridge property.

about the harvest: The grapes were picked at optimum ripeness.

in the cellar : The juice was fermented with different yeast strains in stainless steel tanks and the wine spent 4 months on the lees. The result is a vivid, rich Sauvignon Blanc with an excellent nose and palate.

Our goal with the Vrede en Lust Sauvignon Blanc is for a wine with elegance, balance and richness. The grapes were harvested at different sugar levels late in February up until mid March. The juice was fermented separately and blended post fermentation.
