Deetlefs Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2011

Very light green colour. Tropical new world Sauvignon Blanc. Good balance between herbaceous and tropical aromas. Kiwi-, grape- and passion fruit are in abundance on the nose. The wine has a very drinkable palate with zippy fresh grapefruit acidity. Wine has good length and shows good potential to develop over the next 2 years.

Goats cheese and rocket salad and Lemon butter sole.

about the harvest: Harvest date: 17 January - 12 February 2011
in the cellar : The grapes used to make this wine were tasted on a daily basis. When the perfect balance between fruit, herbaceous notes and acidity was achieved harvesting took place. Picking occurred before sunrise to ensure cool grapes. In the winery modern techniques and reductive wine making were used to enhance and protect the delicate varietal characters. Different varietals were kept apart on fine lees until blending occurred.
