Backsberg Hillside Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Brimming with notes of sweet melon, kiwi and Cape gooseberry, this thirst-quenching Sauvignon Blanc will heighten your senses.

Sun worshiping, open armed lyre trellised vines, ensure maximum fruit ripeness. Oak leaf and weathered granite soils ensure these vines are planted in soils rich in organic matter.

Grapes are picked cool between 21 and 22 degree Balling. Some time spent on the skins allows for the extraction of fresh varietal aromas and flavours. A few days of settling yields a clear juice. Thereafter, fermentation in stainless steel tanks takes place at low temperatures with the wine being stirred on the lees for two months. The wine is finally blended and bottled for early consumption.
