2009 WALKER BAY SAUVIGNON BLANC

|


|
Sauvignon Blanc arguably counts as South Africas most popular and best performing white variety.
In a country so long dominated by Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc has raised its hand as a constant aromatic refresher, particularly during the warm summer months.
Stylistically Sauvignon Blanc varies according to location and micro climate. Best examples originating in cooler mostly coastal sites!
Our vineyards located close to the cold Walker Bay Atlantic Ocean enjoy consistent moderate summer temperatures which provide fine floral flavours. These are enhanced by heavy clay soils where the flavour tends to be more tropical than herbaceous.
The grapes from vintage 2009 have presented perfect fruit. It was a long dry season with ideal ripening conditions following a late winter and above average spring rainfall.
This elevated vintage presents a really fresh generously bodied wine with full zesty aromatic flavours, a long mineral finish and promise to develop with a full palate!
