Le Bonheur Sauvignon Blanc 3 Edit

Le Bonheur Sauvignon Blanc 2023

A classic, complex and well-balanced expression of Sauvignon Blanc, which deftly balanced New-World expressiveness and Old-World elegance. Made from some of Stellenbosch’s highest vineyards, this wine is crisp and refreshing, with delicate notes of green apples, gooseberries and lime and concentrated flavours of green figs, freshly cut apples and a hit of watermelon.

Pale straw with a green hue. Generous motes of green figs, gooseberries and crispy lime. Classic Sauvignon Blanc flavours with elegance and classic Le Bonheur finesse.

More Information

In the cellar

Grapes were harvested by hand at 23.8° Balling in mid- February with yields averaging 10 tons per hectare. Each vineyard was individually vinified. Once the grapes had been crushed, the mash was cooled and fermentation took place between 12°C and 14°C over two weeks. There was no skin contact.

In the vineyard

A cooler vintage, 2023 gracefully imparted racy natural acidity, resulting in the creation of elegant, crisp and enduringly fresh white wines that encapsulate a timeless and classic essence.

Ageing

The wine was left on the lees for six months to concentrate the flavours.

Cultivar

100% Sauvignon Blanc

Food Pairing

An ideal wine to enjoy with crayfish, prawns, sushi or oysters.
