Product notes
The wine comes from vineyards in the Elgin valley, traditionally an apple growing region. The famously bowl-shaped topography of this maritime valley encourages self-regulating cooler temperature control - as the ground heats up, the valley sucks in colder Atlantic air from the ocean, causing clouds to condense and form a protective cover from the sun. This has a huge effect on the ripening process of the grapes and helps capture aromas of freshly cut grass, asparagus and apple flavours.
Tasting notes
Aromas of Kiwi fruit, lime, sliced apple and pineapple abound on a rich palate balanced with firm grassy notes with a hint of asparagus.This makes for a pleasing Sauvignon Blanc entirely true to its sense of place.
