MINERAL STONE SAUVIGNON BLANC

2024

Varieties: 100% Sauvignon Blanc

This small batch of cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc from Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley vineyards combines tropical, saline and mineral notes giving a true sense of place. Intense passionfruit and yellow Cape gooseberry notes are derived from riper grapes exposed to late afternoon sun, while more shady vineyard rows produce berries with flinty aromas and hints of bell peppers.

A long finish with hints of light cigar note.
