Errigal Sauvignon Blanc

To be enjoyed with seafood, pasta, salad or simply on its own.

This 0,8Ha Sauvignon Blanc vineyard at the end of the Viljoenshoop Road in Elgin is owned and farmed by Babette and Lowry Craig. The weathered shale clay soils are deep and cool, providing a slow and even ripening curve in this distinctively cool climate ward.

Fermentations in neutral 500L barrels with a high percentage of lees.

Once harvested the grapes where whole-bunch pressed and the juice cold settled.

Raised by Wolves is the brainchild of Adam Mason winemaker at Mulderbosch Vineyards. The name is a parody of the constant one-upmanship of winemakers: My wine is a single vineyard. ... Yeah well my wine is naturally fermented. ... Oh yeah well my wine is hand sorted by berry. And Adam's response: Well my wines are all of the above and I was raised by wolves. The Raised by Wolves wines are all vinified with minimalistic intervention to allow the true character of the varietal and the site-specific terroir to shine through.
