Sauvignon Blanc - completely new style

Our Sauvignon Blanc has a style unknown to SA, something completely new. We've got the perfect terroir for it and that's why we make this wine. To purchase this wine visit our website wedderwill.co.za

Style: The typical, mineral-richness of the farm is evident again in this subtly complex wine. Whiffs of nettles, gooseberries and tropical flavours combine on the nose with hints of asparagus, green peppers and 'figiness'. The notes grow and build and linger on the palate and are excellent expressions of the rich terroir of Wedderwill. A zingy, crisp liveliness combined with a great ageing potential make this an excellent wine to collect and keep.

Origin:The very versatile variety of grape comes from a south-facing slope, with strong soils of Oakleaf, Clovelly and a little Tukulu giving us a wide selection of excellent grapes to choose from. We only choose the most suitable grapes off these blocks, with only the highest quality for our small production volume. These blocks are characterised by cooler temperatures, low radiation and winds. As seventy-percent of our Sauvignon Blanc vineyards have been recently planted, we believe these have great future potential in increasing our quality.
