About this Item

Bartho Eksteen Wine Estate
2022 Vloekskoot Sauvignon Blanc – Wooded
12 (2 x 6) 750ml

“My winemaking philosophy is quite simple. It’s input is equal to output. I feel very strong about terroir. One should spend more time in the vineyard than in the cellar because that is where the great wines are made.” - Bartho Eksteen

100% Sauvignon Blanc

• This is the most successful Sauvignon Blanc in the CWG Auction history.
• This wooded style was recently praised by Jancis Robinson MW as her favourite WHITE wine from the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley.
• A regular 5-star Platter’s winner.
• A regular Tim Atkin MW 95+ award winner.

Tasting Notes: Nods towards Pessac-Léognan but has a Cape character all of its own. Flinty, grapefruit, fresh lime, green herb flavours. Focused, with superb intensity. Older oak adds complexity and gravitas.

If you can put away some bottles for a couple of years, you can delay the pleasure and have it back with interest for anything up to six years after harvest.
