Product information "Strandveld First Sighting Sauvignon Blanc 2024"
The Strandveld First Sighting Sauvignon Blanc is an incredibly expressive wine with intense aromas of fresh tropical and citrus fruit. On the palate, the nuances already absorbed by the nose unfold in combination with a fine minerality and subtle herbaceous hints of the South African Buchu plant.
The grapes of Strandveld First Sighting Sauvignon Blancs come from the southernmost wine growing region of South Africa. In 1488 Bartholomeu Dias sighted the African continent for the first time. Today the grapes for this Sauvignon Blanc come from exactly this southern point, Cape Agulhas, where they are exposed to the wind and weather of the Atlantic Ocean. This makes the whole thing exciting! The grapes ripen slowly, but incredibly intense in taste and provide an expressive result!

The grapes were hand-picked in the early hours of the morning at optimal ripeness and freshly vinified at cooler temperatures in stainless steel tanks. After the fermentation was completed, the wine spent 6 months on the lees in order to obtain a richer and fuller mouthfeel in the wine.
