Zevenwacht Z Collection Sauvignon Blanc 2021

R350.00

A blend of 87% Sauvignon Blanc and 13% Semillon.

South facing and elevated 340 meters above sea level, these 20-year-old vines look out over False Bay and are planted on the coolest site on our farm. The soil is mainly decomposed granite with clay subsoil helping to buffer the vines during stress. The grapes from this site derive the full benefit from the cool sea breeze during the slow ripening stages. Pungency, aroma, and full concentration are the hallmarks of this fine Sauvignon Blanc. There is no shortage of these varietal characteristics on these lofty southern slopes. The wine was barrel fermented and aged on the lees for 9 months to give mid-palate weight and complexity. The barrels were second and third fill 500L French oaked barrels.
