Durbanville Hills Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc

COLOUR Brilliant clear with green edges NOSE The bubble in the wine elevates the tropical flavours such as Paw-Paw, passion fruit, melon, peaches, ripe figs and gooseberries. TASTE The burst of tiny bubbles on the tongue awakens the palate, allowing the mouth to fully appreciate the fresh, tropical fruit flavours experienced with a hint of citrus, which is invigorating and refreshing.

The grapes were sourced on the lower foothills at the Western side of the valley. Vineyard selection was done on tasting the grapes for a combination of subtle Sauvignon blanc flavours to ensure that the wine is not overpowering due to the carbon dioxide that enhances flavours. Picking was done by hand at 23 degrees Balling.

Our Sauvignon Blanc Sparkling Wine consists of 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes which were hand-harvested in the early morning at 22.5-23.5°B. At the cellar the grapes are de-stemmed into 15 ton separators and the free run juice is separated from the skins, left overnight to settle and then racked to the fermentation tank. Here it is inoculated with a selected yeast strain and fermented at 15°C, which takes between 14 and 23 days. After fermentation the wine is racked from its primary lees.
