Flagstone Weather Girl 2006
Winemaking Notes The Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon both originate from the Moddervlei farm in the Elim area. The grapes were hand picked during February and March at optimal ripeness. Grape pickings were either whole-bunch pressed or crushed and left to cold soak for 12-24 hours. The cultivars were fermented separately in stainless steel tanks, using a variety of different yeasts. Post fermentation lees contact took place in tank after which the wines were racked off the lees and blended. Bottled under screwcap. Tasting Notes Pale yellow with a beautiful green tint around the edge. Clear and shiny. Nice green fig leaves and herbaceous characters on the nose, combined with prominent dusty mineral aroma. Lovely hints of passion fruit and paw paw. Amazing aromas exploding on entry. The wine has an elegant creamy fullness with perfectly balanced acidity. The mid palate is full of ripe citrus flavours, ending with a lingering clean aftertaste.
