Zevenwacht Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2023

R120,00

An elegant wine showing gooseberry and passion fruit on the nose, that opens up to green fig, grapefruit and nectarine. The wine has a mineral quality that is supported by concentrated fruit and juicy acidity that leaves a lingering aftertaste. This is a complex wine that delivers a beautiful expression of our pristine terroir.

More Information

In the cellar

The grapes were given up to 6hrs of skin contact to allow for flavour extraction from the skins before pressing. The juice was handled reductively and cold fermented to protect the delicate thiol characteristics of the grape variety. 5 Months lees contact was given to add mid-palate weight to the blend.

In the vineyard

The Sauvignon Blanc vineyards are planted on South facing slopes with altitudes varying from 300 – 350m above sea level. These vineyards are the most elevated position on Zevenwacht facing False Bay, deriving full benefit from the cool sea breeze during the ripening stages. Pungency and aromatic concentration are the hallmark of a fine Sauvignon Blanc and there is no shortage of these characteristics on the lofty southern slopes of the Bottelary Hills. Grapes were picked at various stages of ripening to provide us a broader spectrum of flavours to work with at blending. A small percentage of Semillon was used as a blending partner that adds weight to the palate.

Ageing

Most certainly delicious now but matures beautifully for up to 3-5 years.

Cultivar

94% Sauvignon Blanc, 6% Semillon

Food Pairing

This is seafood pairing delight and a refreshing wine with herb salads. Works like a charm with oysters, or try fig and goats cheese salad, carpaccio served with rocket and parmesan, seared tuna, calamari, crayfish or sushi. But most of all enjoy the wine your way!
