Fountain Of Youth Sauvignon Blanc

This Sauvignon Blanc pairs well with seafood dishes, particularly West Coast mussels, as its delicate fruit flavors complement the subtly sweet and salty mussel flavors. It's also excellent with fresh oysters or as an aperitif.

The grapes for this wine are sourced from blocks 11B and 14, situated at altitudes between 420 to 460 meters on south-southwest and south-southeast facing slopes along the foothills of the Groenlandberg in Elgin. The vineyards benefit from medium-textured gravelly soil with a structured clay layer, contributing to the unique terroir. The cool climate of Elgin results in a delayed ripening time, allowing the Sauvignon Blanc to mature in the vineyard, developing beautiful, zesty tropical fruit.

This wine is crafted to be enjoyed young to appreciate its fresh and vibrant character.

The winemaking philosophy focuses on reductive winemaking with cool fermentation temperatures, resulting in a wine bursting with beautiful depth of fruit. The proximity of the vineyards to the fermentation facility (1.9 km) ensures that the grapes are processed promptly, preserving their freshness.

Oak Valley is situated high along the Groenlandberg Mountain Range in one of the coolest wine growing regions in South Africa; Elgin. Attention to detail in the vineyards and our minimalist intervention approach in the cellar is what shapes our cool climate wine styles. Oak Valley’s signature is elegance.
