VINTAGE:
2025
MORE INFORMATION:
The vineyard is located high up in the Bottelary Hills of Stellenbosch at an altitude of 295m on a south eastern slope. Cool breezes from the nearby Atlantic Ocean make the site perfect for Sauvignon Blanc.
The 2025 vintage was marked by a cool growing season and well-timed winter rainfall. Mild summer temperatures created optimal ripening conditions for Sauvignon Blanc. The absence of heatwaves and the steady maturation period resulted in grapes with vibrant acidity and refined aromatic expression
The wine displays a pale straw hue with a subtle green tint. Aromas of lime, white pear, and gooseberry are complemented by undertones of passion fruit and lemon thyme. These notes follow through on the palate, joined by fresh flavours of Granny Smith apple, lemongrass, and a touch of nettle. The palate is well-weighted and balanced, with an elegant minerality adding depth. Extended lees contact has been expertly handled, contributing to the wine’s vibrant freshness and textured mouthfeel.
Pair with tomato or goat’s cheese salads, roast fish and poultry or light pasta dishes.
