Ken Forrester Sauvignon Blanc Reserve 2015


This wine shows lovely complexity with mix of tangy grassy notes, fig leaf, and peach and nectarine nuances. Brisk acidity with minerality on the palate which is typical of the long hang time in our cool region.

Very good while preparing a meal or out on the patio. Ideal with fish, chicken and pasta and friends.

    in the vineyard :  Region : Stellenbosch, Elim and Darling
    Soil : Combination of decomposed granite, “Koffieklip”, Yellow Ferricrete, Red Ferricrete and White quartz
    Vineyard Aspect North-East/South-West/North-South
    about the harvest:  Yield : Between 4 and 9 t/ha
    in the cellar : We always look for a hint of tropical ripeness, as well as a crisp clean backbone to carry the wine. To achieve this, grapes are hand-picked from 3 vineyards, approximately 300 miles apart. This gives three unique flavour profiles; all made separately and then blended straight after being drained off the lees.

    After crushing, pumped through mash-cooler straight to press for draining. Free-run juice settled and fermented separately from pressings. Extended lees contact after fermentation for about 8 weeks to increase “creamy” character.

    Juice/wine handled reductively throughout process.
