Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2021

An elegant representation of our unique terroir with hints of floral spice, cardamom and white pepper. The generous fruit profile showcases lemon, tangerine and ripe nectarines. Combining all the elements of our beautiful coastal setting with notes of kelp and a salty sea breeze character own to Cape Point. The delicate notes of perfumed spring blossoms with subtle hints of oak ageing gives this wine added layers of complexity. The palate is rich and textured with a pithy quality, finishing with the characteristic lengthy mineral edge. 2023 - 31

Grapes for this wine are hand-selected from 3 sea-facing vineyard parcels in the mid levels of our farm where a combination of the fresh breezes and decomposed granite soils result in a wine that has a distinct mineral edge.

The grapes were hand picked between 22°B and 23°B in small cases, and cooled overnight before we do 100% whole bunch press. We allow the juice to oxidise and settle naturally for up to 6 hours before we transfer the juice into 600L French oak barrels. The 2021 Reserve went through spontaneous fermentation.

We ferment in older 600 L French Oak barrels, and allow maturation on the fermentation lees for 16 months, with an additional 8 months on fine lees in tank.
