Cederberg Sandpoort Sauvignon Gris 2023
R403.00
Julio Bouchon’s great-grandfather planted Sauvignon Gris on his Angostura farm in Colchagua Valley, Chile, in 1912. A century later, David Nieuwoudt, together with his friend Julio, became the first to grow this variety in South Africa in the Cederberg mountains, creating the country’s first Sauvignon Gris.

Description
Grapes are hand-harvested in the early morning at 23.5°B. The grapes are then whole bunch pressed followed by one day of settling and then transferred into 400l French oak barrels. Natural fermentation takes place over the next 40 to 60 days at 13°C. Once fermentation is completed, the barrels are matured for up to five months with a monthly bâtonnage of the lees. No malolactic fermentation takes place. 4th fill tight-grain barrels with a medium toast are used for the Sauvignon Gris. Only two barrels of this wine are produced and minimal fining and filtration are used.
