Durbanville Hills Sauvignon Blanc, Durbanville
The grapes are sourced from seven of the nine Durbanville Hills member farms and three of them have high altitude vineyards growing on the south-eastern slopes of the Hooge Berg Valley. Crushing and juice handling vary from immediate draining to an average of four hours skin contact. This happens under a layer of dry ice to preserve the typical delicate flavours that are fragile during these first stages of the winemaking process, some ageing on the lees is also employed. A delightful combination of papaya, grapefruit, lime and melon on the nose, the palate is a combination of fruit flavours and green pepper with a crisp acidity and full mouth-feel.
