Description
TASTING NOTE Delicate green apple and fig flavours with hints of tropical stone fruit (apricot/peach) finished with a zesty and refreshing after taste.
VINEYARDS Due to warm, dry conditions in the Swartland, this Sauvignon Blanc is a more tropical style of Sauvignon Blanc. These vineyards were planted on cooler sites where there is some cool, maritime influence from the West Coast. This achieves a style of wine that has delicate green notes, complemented by yellow-stone and tropical fruit, a touch of minerality and a crisp, lively acidity.

Vinification
WINEMAKER’S NOTE To ensure an array of layered fruit flavours and to capture freshness, we use only free run juice and ferment colder than usual. The wine is left on the green lees for an extended period to develop the expressive green flavours of Sauvignon Blanc and is called “Sur Lie”
