The vineyards are nestled in the undulating hills and valleys of the Stellenbosch, where well-drained soils rich in granite and shale provide the perfect foundation for the Sauvignon Blanc vines. The cool oceanic influence and warm days result in a long growing season, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and develop their full flavour potential. This unique terroir imparts distinctive mineral notes and a lively acidity to the wine, making it a true reflection of its origin.
The combination of abundant sunshine and cooling winds from Atlantic Ocean results in grapes with balanced acidity and intense flavours, making them ideal for crafting premium white wines.
The grapes are carefully handpicked from select vineyards, ensuring only the finest clusters make their way into production. After a gentle pressing, the juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures, preserving the inherent freshness and varietal purity of the Sauvignon Blanc grapes. A portion of the wine is aged on lees, adding depth and complexity to the final blend.
On the nose, it offers a bouquet of tropical fruits, including passion fruit, guava, and citrus zest, complemented by hints of freshly cut grass and a subtle minerality. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with vibrant acidity balanced by juicy fruit flavours. The finish is long and invigorating, leaving a lingering impression of zesty citrus and a delightful herbal undertone.
