Wine Description:
Mooiplaas Wine Estate Sauvignon Blanc is an exceptional white wine from the acclaimed Mooiplaas Wine Estate, located high in the Bottelary Hills of Stellenbosch, South Africa. The vineyard sits at an elevation of 295 meters on a southeast-facing slope, benefitting from the cooling breezes of the Atlantic Ocean, which create ideal conditions for Sauvignon Blanc. Harvested by hand in February, the grapes undergo a meticulous winemaking process. After 24 hours of skin contact, only the free-run juice is used, without pressing. Weekly batonnage for three months enhances flavor and body, resulting in a wine of remarkable character.

Wine Expert Note:

Mooiplaas Wine Estate Sauvignon Blanc presents a pale straw color with a slight green hue. The nose is vibrant and aromatic, featuring notes of lime, white pear, and gooseberry, with subtle undertones of passion fruit and lemon thyme. On the palate, these aromas are complemented by flavors of Granny Smith apples, lemongrass, and nettle. The wine exhibits a balanced palate with a mineral structure, and the extended lees contact contributes to its freshness and mouthfeel.
