Product Description:
Another alluringly atypical expression of Sauvignon Blanc, where aromas of wet stone, passion fruit, and white pear take center stage. The varietal reveals itself through a distinct note of blackcurrant leaf on the nose and dried seaweed on the palate, while a slightly yeasty mouthfeel fills the mid-palate. Zesty acidity with notes of citrus zest lends tension and energy to the wine.

Vinifikation
The 2024 vintage was characterized by a wet winter and spring, which promoted vigorous vine growth, while challenging weather conditions during flowering led to lower yields. The grapes for this wine come from two sources – half from our own vineyards, the remainder from two vineyards in Olifantsrivier. Whole-bunch pressed and 100% wild fermented in clay amphorae. Matured for seven months on gross lees with no additions whatsoever, with minimal SO2 added just prior to bottling. These locally made amphorae were developed over ten years of trial and error. They come in various sizes – between 500L and 860L – and are porous and uncoated on the inside, which allows for the perfect amount of micro-oxygenation during maturation.
