Sauvignon Blanc 2021
Grape variety: Sauvignon BlancWine of Origin: Cape Coast
Vineyards:
The trellised vineyards are planted in shale soils to provide a
refreshing acidity to the palate with green harvesting providing
complexity. Meticulous attention to canopy management and water
supply provides the wine with the ultimate balance.
Vinification:
Only the free–run juice is cold fermented in stainless steel tanks
using a combination of wild and cultured yeasts. The wine is left
on the lees for a number of weeks to fill out the mid-palate. This
Sauvignon Blanc is handled with care in the cellar in order to
capture its natural fruit flavours and drive complexity resulting
in a food friendly wine.
Tasting notes:
Clean, crisp and fresh with layers of tropical fruits such as
gooseberry, litchi and passion fruit and the extended lees contact
providing for a fuller, weightier mouth-feel yet still finishing in the
lively, bright aftertaste.
Food pairing suggestion:
The younger the wine, the better it will suit cold meats, antipasti
and grilled seafood. As the wine develops, it will reward patience
with a rich wine perfectly suited to pair with slow-cooked
casseroles and saucy pasta.
