Cape Winemakers Guild

De Grendel Amandelboord Sauvignon Blanc 2012

The grapes come from a selected block – the Amandelboord – and were picked at perfect balance between flavour, sugar and acid. Gentle crushing and skin contact, draining, settling, racking, fermentation. Lees contact, stabilisation and bottling. Tasting Notes: A combination of two of the prominent Sauvignon Blanc styles in South Africa, pyrazines and thiols. Flavours range from gooseberries to winter melon and kiwi fruit. This wine finishes with a soft but firm natural acidity.
