Bertha Sauvignon Blanc 2024
R160,00
This classic styled Sauvignon Blanc offers a subtle array of tropical aromas including granny smith apple, fresh pineapple and light peach notes that are balanced with a fresh lemon zest indicating good acidity. Typically Stellenbosch in character, and showing the ever present herbaceous freshness from the cooler slopes. Green-tinged pale straw. Floral and discernibly zesty on the nose. Flinty with a delicate citrus note carrying through to the finish.

In the cellar
This vintage of Sauvignon Blanc harvested from the south facing vineyards on Weltevreden Estate. The grapes were picked at optimum ripeness and taken into the cellar in the early morning to maintain freshness and acidity. After being inoculated with yeast, the wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks
In the vineyard
Harvest 2022 was about 2 weeks later than normal. After a proper cold winter with enough rain, budbreak was 2 weeks late. The earlier part of the season was quite cool, with December showing lower maximum and minimum temperatures. January was more moderate with a couple of hot days. The slow ripening conditions resulted in concentrated fruit development and
palate weight.
