| Description: | Neal Martin, Vinous 92 Points - "The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc Barrel Fermented was from donated Stellenbosch, Helderberg, Elgin and Greyton fruit, is oxidatively handled with 10% skin contact using two concrete eggs. The bouquet it very well-defined with that skin contact lending lovely peach skin and waxy aromas. The palate is well balanced, a texturally satisfying Sauvignon with a very pithy finish. Very distinctive and delicious.". " Fresh, clean and herbaceous with a citrus-driven nose, the 2020 Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc is ripe with subtle oak spices. Medium-bodied in the mouth, flavors of candied lime and lemon drop sway with notions of pineapple and peach before soft green herbs make their mark. The wine concludes with a tight, ripe and food-friendly finish with a lingering notion of cardamom madeleines." - Anthony Mueller, Wine Advocate. "i love barrel fermented Sauvignon Blanc. The wine is approached and made in an 'oxidative' style. Older 600 litre barrels were used for the fermentation and maturation bringing forward richness, intense fruit and complexity. 15% of the production was fermented in 600 litre egg shape tanks. In both the barrels and the eggs, extended less contact contribute further to the rounder mouth feel and creaminess of this elegantly textured wine." - Winemaker Notes |
