58% Sauvignon Blanc, 42% Sémillon

Wine of Origin: Cape Town
Winemaker: Frans K Smit

This Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from dry land vineyards in Durbanville, situated on southwest-facing slopes. The Sémillon component comes from Durbanville as well, but from vines facing east. Each varietal is fermented separately in barrel. The majority of the wine undergoes fermentation and maturation in 320-litre Port-style barrels. After blending in June 2023, the wine matures until March 2024, spending a total of 12 months in barrel.

Tasting Notes: A Sauvignon Blanc-led white blend, with gooseberry and black currant nose, hints of fig leaf, followed by spice from barrel ageing with hints of lemon from the Sémillon and a creamy, long finish.

Ready for drinking now until 2034.
