Blend Information
100% Sauvignon Blanc

Food Suggestions
An excellent partner with white meat, including chicken, pork, turkey and fish. This wine complements salads, sauté veggies and soft cheese like Goat’s milk cheese.

About The Harvest
A cool season and moderate weather conditions during the growing season slowed down ripening, which resulted in a delay of harvest on average by 7 to 10 days. Thanks to the cooler season, we had striking colour and flavour extraction from the grapes in the cellar, which promises a treat from the 2024 vintage wines.

In The Cellar
The grapes were destemmed and crushed with skin contact overnight before being pressed. The wine was then cold fermented for about 20 days, using different yeast strains. Following fermentation, the wine spent another 4 months on fine lees, before bottled.
