Tasting Notes

Delicate peach blossom and elderflower aromas are lifted by vibrant tropical notes of ripe apricot, nectarine, gooseberry, passion fruit, and guava, which weave seamlessly into the bouquet. Subtle hints of lemongrass and a refreshing saline minerality, derived from cooling sea breezes, add depth and intrigue. The palate is rich and silky, yet balanced by lively acidity that drives a long, satisfying finish with a lingering citrus zestiness.

Winemaker’s Comments

The 2025 vintage is one of immense potential. We had enough rain and cold conditions during the winter leading up to this vintage, setting the stage for great concentration and complexity in the resulting wine. I adore the tropical fruit nuances on the nose and lemon grass, adding complexity. A small percentage of oak was used in this wine, with the addition of 4% Semillon to fill in the mid-palate. Drinking beautifully on release, but will gain complexity and texture over the next 3+ years.

Additional information

Vintage:	2025
Cultivar:	Sauvignon Blanc & 4% Semillon
Cellaring Potential:	Drinking beautifully on release, but will gain complexity and texture over the next 3+ years.
Alc:	13.99%
TA:	6.2 g/l
pH:	3.38
RS:	2 g/l
Appellation:	Stellenbosch
Terroir:	Sourced from various vineyard parcels on Saxenburg, ranging in elevation from 175m to 260m above sea level, which receive breezes from both Table and False Bay. These parcels are picked and treated individually in both the vineyard and cellar. Some components contribute to the more tropical fruit spectrum, while others bring more minerality.
Vinification Details:	The grapes were all picked at cool temperatures early in the morning and received between 4 and 6 hours of skin contact before being pressed and settled. The majority was cold fermented with selected yeast strains in stainless steel tanks. A small portion (5%) was fermented naturally in older oak barrels, and 4% Semillon was used for texture on the palate. After 3 months of lees contact and lees stirring, the wine was blended and prepared for bottling.
