Lutzville Sauvignon Blanc

With aromatic notes of freshly cut grass and passion fruit on the nose, this lively Lutzville Sauvignon Blanc has delicate guava and orange peel flavours and a crisp lime finish. Fantastic for warm sunny evenings, this wine is a perfect match for spicy foods, white meats and sharing with friends. Best serve chilled.

Grapes for this Sauvignon Blanc come from 9 low yielding vineyards in the cool climate Lutzville Valley. The fruit is gently pressed and only the free run juice is used. Using selected yeasts the juice then undergoes cold fermentation at 11 degrees Celsius and experiences skin contact for 9 hours (much of the gooseberry Sauvignon Blanc flavours are from the skins) to develop complex flavours. After racking, the wine rests on the less for 3 months to improve body and texture. This wine is produced and bottled in South Africa.

The grapes were harvested at two different sugar levels, one for the enhanced typical flavours and the other to compliment the mouth feel of the wine. Throughout the production phase dry ice was used to protect all the volatile components and keep in the wine. The wine can be described as a clean, crisp and fresh wine with earthy, flinty, green grassy flavours with hints of asparagus.
