Sijnn White 2020

Bright gold straw colour. Lovely forthcoming nose of passion fruit, peach pith, lemon, nutty honey and a little salty fennel character. Vibrant, zesty palate with a multitude of flavours dancing across the palate. Piercing citrus, passionfruit and peach skin mingling with dusty spice components. Lovely natural acidity carries the wine through to a long, elegant finish.

Handpicked and carefully sorted in 14 kg flat trays in the cool mornings, to avoid any damaging and transported back to Stellenbosch. Further sorting in Stellenbosch and gentle crushing and 2 hrs cold soak before pressing in traditional basket press. The Viognier is pressed as quickly as possible and very lightly so as to avoid excessive phenolics.

Barrel fermented in 225L; 400L and 700L French oak barrels, about 15% new for 10 months.
