Information about "Saxenburg Private Collection Sauvignon Blanc 2025"
The Saxenburg Private Collection Sauvignon Blanc showcases a splendid complexity with vibrant fruit notes that evoke the essence of the Cape. Its aromatic profile is a delightful blend of gooseberries and kiwi, enhanced by subtle mineral undertones. This wine reveals a captivating medley of green and tropical fruits, including passion fruit, nectarines, and apricots. The balance and depth are exceptional, complemented by a refreshingly elegant character. Layers of lemongrass and salty minerality, reminiscent of the ocean breeze, create intrigue and harmony. With a long-lasting fruity finish and refined structure, this wine also possesses remarkable aging potential.
Only the finest grapes were selected for the Saxenburg Private Collection Sauvignon Blanc. After 18 hours of skin contact, the grapes were pressed, allowing the juice to rest before being inoculated with five different yeast cultures. A small portion of Sauvignon Blanc (5%) underwent natural fermentation in older oak barrels, while 4% Semillon was included for added texture on the palate. Following three months of lees contact and stirring, the wine was blended and prepared for bottling. It spent four months on the lees to enhance its complexity, without undergoing malolactic fermentation.
