Description
The Nauticus Sauvignon blanc is made to express the essence of the Cape South Coast wine region. The Cape South Coast’s distinctive cool maritime influence and long growing season is exemplified in the selected vineyards because of their elevation, soil texture and exposure to the ocean breeze. The Nauticus Sauvignon blanc is a symphony composed of different vineyard sites and winemaking components. The early pick retains natural acidity and freshness. 15% of the wine was aged in barrel which offers complexity and texture to the core. Additionally, 15% was fermented in a concrete egg vessel which accentuate the mineral notes on the palate as well as the nose. The influence of the cool ocean breeze and summer sun promotes a beautiful balance of citrus and white fruit, with a delicious lingering salty finish.
Food Pairing
This is lovely wine to drink as an aperitif, but it also accompanies fresh summer salads and cheeses. An ideal partner for a salmon ceviche, balancing the crisp citrus and meatiness of the fish.
