Signatures of Doolhof Sauvignon Blanc 2017

Pale yellow to clear with a light green tinge in colour. The wine is dominated by lovely tropical notes with underlying green figs and goosberries on the nose. It is underlined with a core of mineral flavours. A crisp line of acidity carries the wine beautifully, with a fresh and lingering finish.

Serve with shellfish, mussels in a creamy white wine sauce, delicate fish, oysters as an aperitif, and also a great companion at any picnic. Chef's Special: Camembert Summer Salad

A crisp, floral Sauvignon Blanc bursting with green fruit.

about the harvest: 

The grapes were harvested at night.

The grapes were processed reductively to preserve flavours and aromas. After settling out all rough lees, the juice was racked and inoculated with a commercially selected yeast strain and fermented between 13°- 15° C for about a month before some lees contact followed by clarifying and bottling in May 2017.
