La Motte Pierneef Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Vineyards in the cool, emerging wine­producing areas close to the southern tip of Africa are combined to produce a wine of Origin Cape South Coast. The wine is thiol-driven, with especially citrus flavours, and green pepper and Cape gooseberry flavours in the background. The palate is very elegant, with a mineral finish.

The grapes were harvested at between 20 and 22 degrees Balling. The wine was allowed 16 hours of skin contact. Fermentation was at approximately 14 degrees Celsius. The wine was removed from the heavy lees and left on the fine lees for 5 months, followed by blending. 4500 cases were bottled in September 2022.
