Sauvignon Blanc

Pair with tomato or goat’s cheese salads, roast fish and poultry or light pasta dishes.

The vineyard is located high up in the Bottelary Hills of Stellenbosch at an altitude of 295m on a south eastern slope. Cool breezes from the nearby Atlantic Ocean make the site perfect for Sauvignon Blanc.

The 2025 vintage was marked by a cool growing season and well-timed winter rainfall. Mild summer temperatures created optimal ripening conditions for Sauvignon Blanc. The absence of heatwaves and the steady maturation period resulted in grapes with vibrant acidity and refined aromatic expression. Grapes underwent six hours of skin contact. Only 100% free-run juice was used. Wine lees were stirred weekly over a period of three months (batonnage) to enhance texture, complexity, and mouthfeel.

Mooiplaas Wine Estate and Private Nature Reserve is situated in the Westward reaches of the Stellenbosch Winelands, approximately 40km east of Cape Town. We are a traditional working wine farm with history stretching back more than two centuries. The Roos Family has been the custodians of this land for three generations. Our vineyards lie on the steep slopes of the ancient mineral-rich soils of the Bottelary Hills, where we produce a range of environmentally friendly wines rooted in tradition and artisan techniques.
