Information about "Eikendal Sauvignon Blanc 2023"
The Eikendal Sauvignon Blanc enthralls with its crystal-clear aromas of tropical fruits alongside subtle herbal notes. On the palate, flavors develop that include pineapple and stone fruit, leading to a crisp finish with hints of apple, passion fruit, and white peach. Its generous mouthfeel is beautifully balanced by a refined minerality and a vibrant yet elegant acidity, resulting in a refreshing and lasting aftertaste.
The grapes for this Sauvignon Blanc hail from Elgin, perched at 350m above sea level, ideal for crafting premium Sauvignon Blanc. They were crushed and gently pressed, separating the free-run juice from that derived from further pressing. Eighty percent of the juice underwent fermentation in stainless steel tanks with carefully selected yeasts for two to three months, while the remainder fermented in second- and third-fill barrels for added roundness, depth, and structure.
