About this Item

2023 Wooded Sauvignon Blanc
24 (4 x 6) 750ml

“All in all, from the owner to the guy that prunes the vineyards, for us, we see it as one complete team effort. Getting a good crop and making a decent wine is probably one of the most satisfying jobs in the world.” - Charles Hopkins

100% Sauvignon Blanc

Wine of Origin: Cape West Coast
Winemaker: Charles Hopkins

This wine, with its pale straw hue, boasts intricate layers that promise to develop both in the glass and over time in the bottle. It represents the culmination of meticulous vineyard care, resulting in extraordinary fruit concentration and intensified flavours. Each vineyard parcel is carefully tended to ensure optimal ripeness and flavour development, with grapes harvested separately to capture their individual characteristics, leading to pristine aromas and a truly unique vineyard selection.

Tasting Notes: Crisp pineapple, fresh apricot, sea kelp and a subtle creamy depth derived from prolonged lees contact and oak influence. It's a wine of intricate layers, promising development in the glass.

Ready for drinking in 2026.
