Description
WINE OF ORIGIN: WALKER BAY
Winemaker’s Notes:
Doused with all the privileges of a cool climate, the Walker Bay boasts some of the most sought-after Sauvignon blanc vineyards. Nudged by the Bot River lagoon with vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, the vineyards enjoy cool daytime temperatures that drop even more at night. A beneficial diurnal range aids in even ripening and complexity, ushering the development of delicate fruit notes, fine tannin structure and a bright acidity. Maritime winds encourage healthy vines that need minimal intervention.
Harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes were destemmed, skin contact allowed for a few hours. The wine was cold fermented with reductive processing in a combination of stainless-steel tanks, barrels and amphora. The wine was left on its lees for 120 days after fermentation, stirred regularly.
Maturation: 8 months. 60% barrel fermented, 25% new 500L + 5% Ceramic eggs.
