Producentens noter (engelsk): Tech sheet: PREMIUM SAUVIGNON BLANC 2015 Origin The grapes for this premium Sauvignon Blanc were all from Vergelegen’s own vineyards. Vinification Grapes from the selected vineyards were hand harvested at peak ripeness and transported to the Vergelegen cellar in wooden bins. Parcels were selected and these parcels could be individual rows or fractions of blocks. Everything was vinified separately. No chemical or enzymatic additions were made and we tried to depart from everything that was accepted as protocols over the previous 16 years. Musts and finished wines were kept in contact with their lees by stirring at least once daily. Composition Sauvignon Blanc 100% Analysis 14.54% Alc 1.6 g/l RS 6.1 g/l TA 3.20 pH Maturation Drink now or over the next two to three years. Tasting Note Pale, bright, green-tinged yellow. Pure, vibrant aromas of lime blossom, gooseberry, ripe guava, fresh passion fruit, white pepper and quince. Shows amazing elegance, balancing perfect acidity with ripe fruit. Winemakers Notes 2015 was our earliest vintage in nearly 30 years! And all harvesting was finished before the Easter weekend, also a first. Quality, however is great and 2015 is set to become a standout vintage. Harvesting of the Sauvignon Blanc grapes started on 5 February and finished on 20 February 2015. The grapes were extremely healthy and flavourful. Bottling took place on the 29 May. Enjoy with asparagus, grilled yellowtail, snoek, oysters and grilled chicken/kebabs.
