Coastal Cuvée Sauvignon Blanc

Enjoy with a summer chicken salad with a creamy thyme dressing.

Characterised by typical dry conditions and moderate temperatures, favourable conditions continued throughout the season. Yet despite smaller berries and lighter crop stemming from the windy conditions grapes showed good acidity and balanced sugar delivering well concentrated and structured wines. The reds promise a full and intense flavour profile. The grapes were handpicked in the early hours from four premium wine regions: Durbanville, Stellenbosch, Darling, and Franschhoek. This combination showcases the unique flavours from each region.

It was left on the lees for 5 months post fermentation, adding to the depth of flavour.

The grapes received partial skin contact and were gently pressed, retaining freshness. Fermentation lasted 3 weeks at 15 ̊C. A 8% Semillon component was fermented in new French oak barrels for 3 weeks, adding additional body and dimension.
