MORE INFORMATION:
Our maiden Sauvignon Blanc Sparkling Wine consists of 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes which were hand-harvested in the early morning at 22.5-23.5°B. At the cellar the grapes are de-stemmed into 15 ton separators and the free run juice is separated from the skins, left overnight to settle and then racked to the fermentation tank. Here it is inoculated with a selected yeast strain and fermented at 15°C, which takes between 14 and 23 days. After fermentation the wine is racked from its primary lees. COLOUR Brilliant clear with green edges NOSE The bubble in the wine elevates both the greener and the riper tropical elements of the Sauvignon Blanc, resulting in a delightful bouquet of green pepper, kiwi fruit, fig and gooseberry. TASTE The burst of tiny bubbles on the tongue awakens the palate, allowing it to fully appreciate the fresh fruit flavours of the wine. Invigorating and refreshing.

Fresh oysters, seafood salads, smoked salmon and sushi and other raw fish dishes.
