Diemersdal The Journal Sauvignon Blanc 2021

The Journal Sauvignon Blanc is made from carefully selected grapes and fermented in French oak barrels to ensure a wine with a full, rich mouthfeel and a long finish. The flavours fynbos, cassis and tropical fruit are underpinned by a core of minerality and complex fruit and vanilla flavours.

The Journal implies the continuous, the living and the evolving. It ensures the events of time are captured and recorded as momenta – reminders of generations past and a reference for generations to come. The supreme quality of this range and the craftsmanship with which The Journal wines are made, these are the result of Diemersdal’s tradition and its previous generations of wine farmers.
