Groot Phesantekraal Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Enticing aromas of passion fruit, lemongrass, and zesty lime jump from the glass, underscored by tropical nuances that evoke a sense of place. The tropical aroma seamlessly transitions onto the palate, where vibrant notes of grapefruit add a refreshing twist. This Sauvignon Blanc boasts excellent balance, with a viscosity that lends weight and depth to its serious character. A distinct minerality provides a salivating finish, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and purity.

Pair this Sauvignon Blanc with a zesty ceviche of fresh white fish, mango, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. The wine's vibrant citrus and
tropical fruit notes complement the ceviche's flavours, while its crisp acidity enhances the dish's freshness for a refreshing combination.

A cooler-than-usual spring in the 2025 season delayed budbreak slightly, but the dry summer ensured healthy canopies and optimal flavour
concentration. The slower ripening period allowed for excellent phenolic development, resulting in a Sauvignon Blanc of great purity and structure. Sourced predominantly from Block 10, with added complexity from Block 5, both rooted in well-drained shale soils and cooled by the prevailing Atlantic breezes, this vintage was shaped by a long, temperate growing season with ideal diurnal shifts

in the vineyard : The vines, planted north-south at a higher altitude in Malmesbury Shale soils with deep clay, foster intense flavours. Strict yield control
and thoughtful viticultural practices, including an open canopy to welcome cool southwesterly winds, create a microclimate ideal for
grapes to retain aromatic precursors during ripening.
