The Franschhoek Sauvignon Blanc component adds some notes of tropical fruit, blackcurrant, and lime. The Walker Bay component adds minerality, flintiness and great acid balance. To round it off the Franschhoek Semillon adds fullness and waxiness on the pallet.
The Sauvignon Blanc was fermented with selected yeast strains in stainless steel tanks, but around 18 balling it was transferred to 500l barrels, where it completed fermentation. The Sauvignon Blanc was matured in 500l barrels for 8 months (50% new, 50% old). After the 10 months the wine was blended and bottled.

Rickety Bridge wine estate is undoubtedly one of the most progressive wineries in the Cape. The historic winemaking cellar was recently renovated and converted into a barrel fermentation centre, the new winery was built and modern cooling equipment was installed.
The newly built wine tasting centre is the perfect place to sample 200 years of winemaking tradition: taste these delightful Franschhoek wines in comfort, al fresco in summer on the winery veranda or relaxing in front of the fire in winter. The pleasures of these outstanding South African wines extend beyond the bottle.
