Carmen Stevens Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Carmen Stevens Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Winemaking

Fruits are hand-sorted and destemmed using dry ice as protection, to preserve the purity of fruit that is expected. High natural acidity and very cold temperatures results in successful juice settling overnight. Clean juices are separated the next day and a bigger percentage is fermented with a pure yeast culture. The balance is barrel fermented and stirred on a regular basis after fermentation.

Tasting Notes

Zesty and fresh, flowed by a fusion of figs and passion fruit aromas. The palate entrance is crisp, clean and concentrated. The Sauvignon Blanc has great balance between fruit expression, lovely depth of character, zesty acidity with a fullness of palate, to cut through the crisp acidity. A beautiful example of a Sauvignon Blanc from the cool climate region in South Africa.
