Spier Seaward Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Seaward grapes are selected from South Africa's top coastal areas, growing in a narrow band close to the cold Atlantic ocean and the temperate waters of False Bay. Such terroir provides what you might call a perfect storm - with barely any human intervention needed to produce outstanding harvests for our winemakers, every year. Dryland, trellised vines with an average age of 15 years yielded the grapes for this wine. Moderate summers with low night temperatures and cold winters create a perfect micro-climate for Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Spier is one of South Africa's oldest wine farms with a recorded winemaking history dating back to 1692. The winemaking team is committed to crafting wines truly expressive of their terroir, with minimal interference. While rooted in this heritage, they have a vibrant and conscious energy. Their Growing for Good initiatives empower communities to make positive social and environmental change. Ranging from art and entrepreneurship to regenerative farming and ecological restoration, these projects and partnerships are creating a ripple effect of lasting and meaningful impact.
Vergelegen Wild Winds Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Part of Vergelegen’s Heritage Range, this Sauvignon Blanc comes from the estate’s highest vineyards on the Schaapenberg, overlooking the wild Atlantic swells of False Bay. These exposed sites lend the wine its striking freshness and coastal character. Winemaking Hand-picked over an extended period, the grapes were destemmed and pressed using both inert and oxidative methods. Fermentation took place in stainless steel with a range of yeasts to enhance complexity, followed by regular lees stirring to balance the naturally high acidity. The wine was blended, lightly filtered and bottled to preserve its pure fruit profile. Tasting Notes A natural and expressive Sauvignon Blanc with bright guava and honeydew melon aromas. The palate is crisp and flinty with excellent acidity and a refined, lingering finish. Food Pairing Superb with oysters, fresh salads or goat’s cheese. Awards Tim Atkin MW: 92 pts
