More Information

In the cellar

The grapes were crushed and given 6-8 hours of skin contact before gently pressing off for settling. The wine was racked to a combination of French oak barrels and concrete eggs for fermentation and kept on the gross lees for 8 months. The final blend components were 10% new oak, 20% concrete egg and 70% older 500L barrels

In the vineyard

South to South-West facing vineyards look out over False Bay and are planted on the coolest site on our farm. The soil is mainly decomposed granite with clay subsoil helping to buffer the vines during stress. The grapes from these sites derive the full benefit from the cool sea breeze during ripening that helps retain pungency and acidity.

Ageing

Eight months

Cultivar

90% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Semillon

Food Pairing

Perfect with seared tuna, salmon and oysters or try steamed asparagus with hollandaise sauce. A beautiful food wine that will stand up to complex flavours.

Awards and Recognition

  1. Trophy Wine Show 2024 Gold (97 pts)
