Eikendal Sauvignon Blanc / Chardonnay 2021

Name: Eikendal Sauvignon Blanc / Chardonnay 2021
Brand: Eikendal
SKU: 48205

The Eikendal Sauvignon Blanc-Chardonnay 2021 is a crisp wine with beautiful length and freshness. The Chardonnay adds weight
and structure with nuances of fresh apples and pears. The Sauvignon Blanc contributes fresh grassy, gooseberry and floral
aromas. This vintage is quite opulent and on a whole this wine is expressive with notes of ripe gooseberry and figs with peach and apricot and has a really tight and long finish.

Pair with Goats’ Cheese, Oysters, Artichoke, Pasta Vongole.

in the vineyard : All the grapes are meticulously sourced from Stellenbosch and the Elgin Valley. Elgin offers a very cool climate at an altitude of 350m above sea level and is optimal for premium Sauvignon Blanc production. Each block is specifically grown to complement the style of this premium white blend.

about the harvest: The grapes were picked at 21.5°B–23.5°B.

in the cellar : Before fermentation, a lot of effort is put into preserving the natural fruit flavours and especially the natural acidity to ensure freshness and length. The cultivars are then fermented at 12˚C-15˚C in stainless steel tanks and spends two months on the gross lees before the components are blended and bottled.
