She’s the Soul of Sondagskloof
She gets a thrill kissing the earth with the souls of her feet and loves wriggling her toes in the soils of Sondagskloof. Known for dancing with the who’s who, she never stepped on any toes…
A lighter style Sauvignon blanc including components from three different
vinification processes. The early ripening blocks (25-35%) are subjected to a
hyper-oxidation treatment. The biggest part of the blend (50-65%) undergoes
skin contact for 2 days at 10 degrees C, while the last riper blocks (10%) are
treated reductively. We use small percentages of varietals such as Nouvelle and
Viognier to add the proverbial sugar and spice, while the smidgeon of Sémillon
adds fullness to the blend. The earlier vintages are more in a linear style and will
start to showcase some tertiary flavours, where the younger vintages will have
dominant yellow fruit aromas (peaches and pineapple), with undertones of
pacific fruit (star fruit, dragon fruit and white pear) and fresh fynbos/buchu. On
the palate we strive to create a fine balance between freshness and minerality,
supported by good texture and length. These wines will age for 3-5 years and
beyond, provided stored under optimum conditions.
