Information about "Diemersdal Winter Ferment Sauvignon Blanc 2025"
The Diemersdal Winter Ferment Sauvignon Blanc 2025 is a stunning reflection of its New World roots. It showcases an intense aromatic profile with notes of gooseberries, tropical fruits, and sweet grapefruit, complemented by a subtle mineral nuance. On the palate, a concentrated, full-bodied texture is beautifully harmonized by vibrant, natural acidity—creating a captivating balance.
This wine exhibits a generous yet refined character with a long, lingering finish that embodies the varietal integrity and attention to vinification detail.
The unique character of this wine arises from an innovative vinification method where the juice was frozen at -20 °C for five months to retain freshness and aromatic richness, with fermentation beginning in the depths of winter.
Diemersdal's reputation for redefining Sauvignon Blanc is evident in this innovative wine style.
Post-harvest, the juice undergoes freezing at -20 °C for five months. It’s then thawed and fermented amidst Cape winter—resulting in a uniquely tropical Sauvignon Blanc not commonly found in South Africa.
The grapes are hand-harvested at night at 23ºB, crushed, and reductively destemmed. Following a three-hour skin contact, the juice is pressed and settled for 72 hours. The fermentation process is deliberately delayed by five months, initiated with the addition of CKS yeast, lasting two weeks at controlled temperatures between 14–16 °C before bottling.
