Description

Little Rock Blanc is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Viognier, and Chardonnay. It is made to be enjoyed amongst friends with or without food and on any occasion. Pale straw green with golden hues, this wine exhibits an abundance of stone fruit and tropical aromas reminiscent of peaches, apricots, and perfume with subtle spice nuances. Flavors of fruit salad and a fresh lively acidity neatly tie the wine together.
They worked towards early morning harvesting with gentle pressing and settling of juice. The cold fermentations conducted at 14 degrees Celcius, in order to maintain the aromatics in each batch. The Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Viognier, and Semillon cultivators in the blend were vinified separately, with blending occurring prior to bottling and the blend seeing gross lees contact in an excess of 5 months.

Winemaker: Dustin Osborne
Sir Richard Branson’s love for the African continent and finer things in life lured him to the Western Cape Province and Mont Rochelle. His stunning 26-bedroom hotel and vineyard is just under an hour’s drive from Cape Town in the town of Franschhoek in South Africa.

There, in the food and wine capital, guests can unwind and make themselves at home while dining on healthy and locally sourced cuisine, tasting superb shiraz and chardonnay in the 150-year-old cellar, and exploring the rolling vineyards and well-tended grounds in one of the world’s most bucolic settings.
