Meinert Wines Sauvignon Blanc 2023
R175.00
After careful selection and hand harvesting, our Sauvignon Blanc fruit from vineyards in Elgin was transported by means of refrigerated truck to our winery and further cooled overnight in our cold room at 4°C. About a quarter of the total harvest underwent 8 hours skin contact to enhance the development of unique Sauvignon Blanc characteristics. The juice was tank-fermented in two lots by different yeasts to enhance the fruit aromatics. Lees contact for a period of six months after fermentation enhances the texture and mouthfeel and following this, the wine was bottled in September 2017. A portion of the Semillon, which was fermented and matured in old barriques adding depth and richness, was included in the blend. The total Semillon component amounted to 5%.
