Villiera Sauvignon Blanc 2022

In keeping with the trend towards fruit driven wines this Sauvignon Blanc displays intense varietal character including passion fruit and a hint of green pepper. The inclusion of some wine from our old Bushvine vineyard provides greater freshness and vibrancy.

It can be enjoyed alone or as an accompaniment to good seafood.

AWARDS

Gilbert & Gaillard International Challenge: Gold
Platter’s Guide: 4 Stars / Good Value

ageing : Although attractive now, our 2022 Sauvignon Blanc can be kept for a further 2 to 3 years.

Sauvignon Blanc is South Africa’s most popular variety. We make 2 different styles, our “Bush Vine Blanc Fume” made from old bush vines and our regular Sauvignon Blanc made from trellised vines.

about the harvest: The grapes are picked at optimum ripeness which, in the case of Sauvignon Blanc 2022 was 13.3% alcohol. This is to ensure phenolic ripeness. We ensure good protection of the fruit from oxidation and the hand harvesting occurs mainly in the early morning to take advantage of cooler conditions.
