This bright white is light on its feet, with a nice mix of Asian pear, grapefruit pith and white blossom notes that show an underpinning of minerally stone and saline character, ending with a silky finish.

Product Description:

"The 2023 Salt River Sauvignon Blanc is a blend of five different vineyard sites located around Stellenbosch. The anchor of the wine is the now a 35-year-old bush vine vineyard grown on the slopes of Bottelary. The other components are trellised and bush vine vineyards, with various different aspects, planted in granitic soil. These vineyards have combined exceptionally well in creating the saline mineral style of Sauvignon. The Sauvignon Blanc is fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks, concrete eggs and old barrels. The wine spends four months on lees before being bottled, followed by a further two months in bottle prior to release"-Winery
