Benguela Cove Sauvignon Blanc 2023
This wine is the epitome of this cool climate.
IN THE VINEYARDS
Doused with all the privileges of a cool climate, Walker Bay boasts some of the most sought-after Sauvignon Blanc vineyards. Nudged by the Bot River lagoon with vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, the vineyards enjoy cool daytime temperatures that drop even more at night. A beneficial diurnal range aids in even ripening and complexity, ushering in the development of delicate fruit notes, fine tannin structure and bright acidity. Maritime winds encourage healthy vines that need minimal intervention.
Slope: South and west facing vineyards
Soil: Shale and iron laterites
CHARACTER
If preserved green figs evoke childhood memories, this wine will pour itself into your heart. These vivid aromas are joined with notes of grapefruit and gunflint, balanced with sweet tropical fruit and lemon candy. Alluring fennel and maritime sea spray nuances carry through on the palate, met by a Granny Smith apple like acidity and oyster shell like mineral mouthfeel on the finish.
PERSONALITY
This wine is a true expression of its origin. The Estate Sauvignon Blanc captures the essence of a cool climate region and delivers with great balance, length, intensity with an Atlantic freshness about it. Partly barrel fermented, it gently tames the natural acidity, enhancing mouthfeel, the tank-fermented component contributing to its overall complexity and freshness.
IN THE CELLAR
Harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes were de-stemmed, skin contact allowed for a few hours. The wine was cold fermented with reductive processing in a combination of stainless-steel tanks, barrels and ceramic eggs. The wine was left on its lees after fermentation for the full time spent in barrel. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito
