Information about "Strandveld First Sighting Sauvignon Blanc 2024"
The Strandveld First Sighting Sauvignon Blanc 2024 offers an intriguing aromatic profile with intense notes of black currant, complemented by hints of Cape gooseberry and passion fruit. On the palate, this array of flavors unfolds in perfect harmony with elegant minerality and subtle herbal undertones from the South African Buchu plant. A touch of Semillon (10%) adds further complexity.
The grapes are sourced from the southernmost wine region of South Africa, where Bartholomeu Dias first glimpsed the African continent in 1488. In the windy climate of Cape Agulhas, the grapes ripen slowly yet intensely, resulting in an impressive flavor experience.
The grapes were handpicked at optimal ripeness in the early morning and vinified fresh in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine underwent six months of maturation on the lees, enhancing its richness and mouthfeel.
