Villiera Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Villiera Sauvignon Blanc 2022

R120,00

In keeping with the trend towards fruit driven wines this Sauvignon Blanc displays intense varietal character including passion fruit and a hint of green pepper. The inclusion of some wine from our old Bushvine vineyard provides greater freshness and vibrancy. Although attractive now our 2022 Sauvignon Blanc can be kept for a further 2 to 3 years.

More Information

In the cellar

After crushing and destalking we allow 6 hours of skin contact on the majority to maximise varietal character. This is followed by gentle pressing and fraction separation. Only the free run and first pressing is used for Sauvignon Blanc. After settling the clear juice is naturally fermented at approximately 15֯C. A small portion (15%) was barrel fermented. Then it is blended, stabilized and bottled in May / June

In the vineyard

The grapes are picked at optimum ripeness which, in the case of Sauvignon Blanc 2022 was 13.3% alcohol. This is to ensure phenolic ripeness. We ensure good protection of the fruit from oxidation and the hand harvesting occurs mainly in the early morning to take advantage of cooler conditions.

Ageing

This wine should keep for up to three years from date of vintage.

Cultivar

Sauvignon Blanc

Food Pairing

This wine is versatile with foods and can be enjoyed with many foods especially seafood and curries.
