About
In 1984 Neil Ellis sourced grapes from vineyards not of his own and produced wine in rented cellar space. His vision, the pursuit of quality, extended out of the cellar and into the vineyards where varieties would excel and best express a particular style of wine reflective of their environment. Today, the experience and knowledge of the past are applied to modern techniques and technologies for a new generation of winemaking.
Product Features
- The previous vintage was rated 93 points by Miguel Chan, Group Sommelier at Tsogo Sun Hotels, Grand Prix Winner Label Design Awards.
- The wine spends extended time on its lees to create texture and viscosity.
- This results in a Sauvignon Blanc that drinks beautifully while young yet is able to mature and even with age, leave a lasting impression like West Coast memories.
- The terroir is marked by the ever-present southeast wine, while a moody morning mist leaves the most delicate imprint of salinity on the grapes.
- These conditions are perfect for slow, gentle ripening and create the ideal balance between fruit flavours and freshness.
- Flavours of lemon-citrus, melon and passionfruit are everpresent, with a subtle and balanced salinity making this wine the perfect companion for fresh fish or shellfish on the braai, crunchy summer salads, and various kinds of cheese.
