Product information "Benguela Cove Sauvignon Blanc 2018"
The Benguela Cove Sauvignon Blanc exudes an inviting bouquet of tangy kiwi and fresh citrus fruit as well as fine hints of flint and subtle minerality. On the palate this attractive and racy Sauvignon Blanc from the cool Walker Bay presents itself with intensive tropical nuances and a pleasantly balanced acidity. A white wine of wonderful grace and finesse!

The grapes for this racy Sauvignon Blanc were harvested at optimal maturity and completely destemmed on arrival at the winery. Several hours of contact on the skin followed before the fermentation process began in stainless steel tanks and in barrels. Once the alcoholic fermentation was completed, the wine spent 120 days on the lees to obtain a nice complexity in the wine.
