Information about "Waterkloof Sauvignon Blanc 2023"
Nestled in the wind-swept slopes of the Schaapenberg in Somerset West, this Waterkloof Sauvignon Blanc 2023 epitomizes the terroir of one of South Africa's premier Sauvignon Blanc regions, yielding small harvests of intensely aromatic berries. It bursts with enticing notes of fennel and green gooseberry, complemented by a hint of flint on the nose. On the palate, the wine delivers a delightful freshness, showcasing vibrant lemon and lime nuances. Fermented in older French oak barrels, this Sauvignon Blanc unfolds with nutty and zesty characteristics, enriched by subtle traces of salinity and umami. A lavish expression of its craft, we recommend decanting this wine for an hour or two to fully appreciate its complexity.
Der Anbau ist biologisch und regenerativ ohne Bewässerung.
Handverlesen und handsortiert werden die Trauben am Bund gepresst, um den reinsten Saft zu gewinnen. Die Wildhefe-Gärung findet in alten 600-Liter-Fässern aus französischer Eiche statt. Zehn Monate auf der Hefe ohne Umrühren und keine Zusätze außer Schwefel. Es wurden nur 6200 Flaschen hergestellt.
