The Franschhoek Sauvignon Blanc brings vibrant tropical fruit aromas, along with hints of blackcurrant and zesty lime, adding brightness and freshness to the blend. This component gives the wine an inviting and lively aromatic profile.
Complementing this, the Walker Bay Sauvignon Blanc contributes a distinct minerality and flintiness, along with a well-balanced acidity, enhancing the wine's structure and complexity. Finally, the Franschhoek Semillon rounds off the palate with its fuller body and a subtle waxy texture, creating a harmonious and layered wine experience.

The Sauvignon Blanc was fermented with selected yeast strains in stainless steel tanks, but around 12 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 8 months the wine was blended and bottled.
