Description
Fresh minerality, with a hint of honey and lemon .Combined with Orange marmalade and green apple. The Sauvignon Blanc originates from a tiny block on Driefontein.
Rooted in the oldest viticulture soil in the world, it is made up of decomposed granite on the lower slopes of the Helderberg Mountain. This vineyard enjoyed the refreshingly cool breezes from False Bay (Atlantic Ocean) during the day and cool night air flowing down the mountain, resulting in even ripening of the berries and good natural acidity. The macro climate is maritime, with cold wet winters and sunny warm summers.
Tasting Notes
JancisRobinson.com 17
Full bottle 1,385 g. From a single vineyard on decomposed granite south of Stellenbosch. Grown organically without any chemicals. Spontaneous fermentation, no winemaking additives, unfined and unfiltered. Simply gorgeous. Curdsy creamy curves of green and gold. Luscious slathers of lime marmalade and honey spliced by razor-sharp acidity and then bay-leaf sweet spiciness and candied-angelica sweet greenness. Sour cream, aloe, matcha and cinnamon. A carnival of flavours. Gloriously flamboyant and attention-seeking! [Tamlyn Currin, 11/06/2025]
