Hollebaksstrandfontein is the original name of the farm at Bamboes Bay, which used to be a source of freshwater for livestock of the farmers in the earlier days.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Comes from the coastline of Banboes Bay, just under 100metres from the sea! These vineyards are planted on Western Slopes in heavily decomposed granitic soils.
The winds bring cold sea-breezes and ocean mists, regulating growth and reducing disease pressure, creating the perfect environment to grow cool climate Sauvignon Blanc
Taste Profile: Concentrated aromas on the nose of guava, paw paw, green figs and lime. This wine is fresh, bright and bursting with vibrant citrus fruit and mouthwatering saline savouriness.
Winemaking Process: The grapes are harvested in the coolness of late evenings and early mornings to retain freshness and fruit purity. In the cellar, the grapes are crushed and the juice is transferred to temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks where fermentation will take place. Once fermentation is complete, the wine will spend time on lees to further enhance mouthfeel and texture
