TierhoekSauvignon Blanc 2018 (R66.50 per bottle, 6 bottles)

About

Traditional, Loire style Sauvignon Blanc made partly from old unirrigated bush vines and partly from younger, cooler-situated vines. Elegant and refined with subtle flavours of passion fruit with incredible grip and minerality. Although ready to be drunk right now, experiment with a bottle or two in the cellar to see how it develops. Last of the vintage.

Product Features

• 20% of these grapes are from a single block of 20-year-old, unirrigated bush vines and 80% are from a younger trellised block on the cooler south-facing slopes. 
• The soil is weathered sandstone which accounts for the wines’ minerality. 
• All practices are organic. 
• The wine was kept in contact with the fine lees in the tank for 7 months before bottling. A small percentage of the wine fermented in 500-litre barrels.
