Shannon
Shannon Vineyards is an Elgin producer focused on cool-climate wines shaped by careful viticulture and site expression. Known especially for Pinot Noir, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc, Shannon produces precise South African wines that reflect the freshness and restraint of the Elgin Valley.
Description
The focus of this wine is based on a vineyard component arising from low yielding Table Mountain Sandstone soils. Using neutral yeasts, Shannon Sauvignon Blanc expresses very distinctive and concentrated primary fruit aromas of asparagus, citrus, and some capsicum in a minerally and flinty style. The clay/shale soils however, provide the Sauvignon Blanc with flavours on the riper side of the fruit spectrum and with more structure for a broader palate. The blending in of naturally fermented Sauvignon Blanc, matured on the lees, provides a fuller mouth feel and adds to the complexity of the wine. This wine was vinified in a style that enhances the aging potential of Sauvignon Blanc.
