Fryers Cove Bamboes Bay Hollebaksstrandfontein Sauvignon Blanc Reserve 2023

On the nose there is a distinctive seashell minerality with lemon, citrus and white flowers. The palate is rich and creamy, chalky and packed with unique inflections of kelp and West Coast Vygie fynbos that are so characteristic of the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. This wine is well balanced with a complex dry finish and lingering freshness. With flavours as bright as the sun cascading on the West Coast waves.

The original name of the farm at Bamboes Bay. Translated from the Dutch, the name means a “hollow bin” and “beach fountain”. In earlier days, farmers in this arid area used it as source of fresh water for their livestock from this “fountain” down in this hollow.
in the vineyard : The Bamboes Bay Sauvignon Blanc vineyards are located 500m from the ice cold Atlantic along the Cape West Coast. Planted in Hutton-type soil layered with limestone which extends deep into the earth. Bamboes Bay is South Africa's smallest demarcated wine ward.
in the cellar : The winemaking process at Fryer's Cove is based on minimal intervention, and the patience and restraint of this approach show in this terroir-driven Sauvignon Blanc. It is wild fermented and aged 500L Austrian Oak Barrels and ceramic amphorae for 7 months. The Bamboes Bay Hollebaksstrandfontein Sauvignon Blanc was bottled on 28 November 2023.
