Description

Southern Right Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Southern Right Sauvignon Blanc exhibits a balance of Old World minerality and length with hints of New World palate coverage and body. Pure and distinctive aromas of lime, apples and crushed stone. The dry and medium-bodied palate has a tight structure and well-balanced complexity that pairs fittingly with a vibrant acidity. Fresh and marked saline minerality that evolves into delicate notes of grapefruit, fresh cut grass, apple and lime toward the finish.

100% Sauvignon Blanc. The fruit comes from different vineyards with 7% from 

Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, 44% from Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, and 49% from other Walker Bay plots. 

Table Mountain Sandstone derived soil 56%, clay-rich shale derived soil 44%. The vineyards experience cool maritime climates since they are located close to the sea.

The wine ages with 8% in neutral barrels.
