Wine Description:
Neil Ellis Sincerely Sauvignon Blanc hails from the esteemed Jonkershoek Valley, just east of Stellenbosch, South Africa, where Neil Ellis Winery has been an industry icon since its founding in 1993. Renowned for sourcing grapes from top growers across the region, Neil Ellis crafts wines of world-class quality. The Sincerely label epitomizes this commitment, offering well-balanced and approachable wines. This Sauvignon Blanc is a multi-district blend, sourcing fruit from Darling, Durbanville, Paarl, and Stellenbosch. The vines, planted between 1995 and 2010, yield grapes of exceptional quality. The winemaking process involves handling the juice reductively, settling for three days, and fermenting at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the juice is aged on lees for three months, contributing to its depth and complexity before blending and bottling. Neil Ellis Sincerely Sauvignon Blanc embodies the essence of South African terroir with its vibrant fruit flavors and refreshing acidity, making it a delightful and versatile choice for any occasion.
