Information about "Strandveld First Sighting Sauvignon Blanc 2024"
The Strandveld First Sighting Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is a vibrant expression of its terroir, showcasing intense aromas of black currant, with subtle hints of yellow Cape gooseberry and passion fruit. On the palate, these fragrant notes harmonize beautifully with fine minerality and gentle herbal undertones from the native South African Buchu plant. A touch of Semillon (10%) adds complexity to this elegant wine.
Originating from South Africa's southernmost wine region, this Sauvignon Blanc captures the spirit of Cape Agulhas, where Bartholomeu Dias first glimpsed the African continent in 1488. The grapes thrive in the windswept conditions, ripening slowly and developing remarkable flavors, resulting in a truly expressive wine.
The grapes were handpicked at optimal ripeness in the early morning and vinified fresh in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine underwent six months of maturation on the lees, enhancing its richness and mouthfeel.
