AWARDS

2024 Tim Atkin SA Special Report - 92 Points

ageing : Drinking beautifully now but aged Sauvignon Blanc is a treat.

Tropical notes with a mineral undertone.

in the vineyard : Sourced from the Schaapenberg and lower Schaapenberg vineyards which are the highest on the farm. They are southerly-facing and overlook False Bay, leading to natural stress conditions due to strong winds. These also keep the vineyards cool and impart a sense of salinity to these wines.

about the harvest: All grapes are hand-picked over an extended period, given the site of the vineyards.

in the cellar : They are destemmed in the cellar and undergo a combination of inert and oxidative pressing. The juice is then settled and taken to stainless steel tanks for fermentation using a variety of yeasts to draw out various characteristics. Regular lees stirring balances the natural high acidity and low PHs. Then we blend, filter and bottle.
