Mulderbosch Sauvignon Blanc 2014

This is a really classy style of Sauvignon Blanc displaying both restraint and exuberance at the same time. Classic notes of gunfl int, graphite andelderfl ower aromatics are balanced by moreexuberant notes of fresh green fi gs and zestygrapefruit. Multifaceted fl avours from savoury sageand green olive to fruity fl avours of ripe quince,rock melon and green fi g. There’s a pithy grape fruit texture to the palate that is well balanced by fresh,yet firm acidity and a delicious length.

Serve at 12° - 15°C. Versatile at table served with summer salads, or char-grilled artichokes; oysters; grilled line fish and shellfish; calamari; smoked salmon; seafood paella; chicken à la king; and oven baked goat's milk cheese.

ageing : Up to 7 years.

about the harvest: We harvest mornings only in order to bring in grapes chilled by mother nature; these grapes are then destemmed and crushed, ready for maceration.

in the cellar : Depending on the particular properties of each batch we receive, maceration ranges from 2 to 12 hours. We like to keep our Sauvignon blanc on fermentation lees for as long as possible as this increases the wine’s palate weight, texture and length. It is also a great natural preservative, allowing us to use as little sulphur as possible throughout the maturation of the wine. Prior to bottling the wine is cold and protein stabilized, then microbiologically assessed in order to determine the minimal level of filtration required.
