Name: Anthonij Rupert Cape of Good Hope Altima Sauvignon Blanc 2021
Brand: Anthonij Rupert
SKU: 48468

A light flinty, gravel note underpins granadilla and grapefruit aromas on the nose. A Taut and zingy lemon and grapefruit vivacity are immediately apparent in the mouth. Adding to the complexity is a slate and mineral nuance. The palate is fresh and succulent with lively acidity. Unmistakably Sauvignon Blanc, this wine is focused, crisp, and balanced with good concentration, body, and length of flavor.

in the vineyard : Altima is situated in Elandskloof, an isolated valley north of Villiersdorp which is 5km wide and is surrounded by a steep mountain range that rises 1km from the valley floor. The steep topography causes the valley to receive less direct sunlight due to the overshadowing mountains.
This, together with the elevation of 600 to 850m results in an extraordinary cool climate for the valley.

This unique terroir produces wines with a high natural acidity and upfront aromas. Grapes are harvested much later than other sites in the Western Cape, with harvest usually starting early in March.
The vineyards produce an intense Sauvignon blanc with a fresh expression of gooseberry, citrus and freshly cut grass.
