Information about "Waterkloof Sauvignon Blanc 2023"
The wind-swept slopes of the Schaapenberg in Somerset West showcase an exceptional terroir for Sauvignon Blanc, and this Waterkloof Sauvignon Blanc 2023 perfectly reflects its origins through small yields of aromatic grapes. Bursting with vibrant notes of fennel and green gooseberries, the nose is complemented by a hint of flint. On the palate, a lively freshness with clear citrus accents of lemon and lime emerges. Fermented in older French oak barrels, this wine reveals nutty and zesty finesse, enhanced by subtle salty and umami undertones. To fully enjoy its depth, decant this distinguished wine for an hour or two before serving.
Organically and regeneratively farmed without irrigation.
Grapes are hand-picked and crushed whole to extract the purest juice. Wild yeast fermentation occurs in old 600-liter French oak barrels. Ageing lasts for ten months on the lees, with no stirring and minimal addition of sulfur. Only 6200 bottles produced.
