Sauvignon Blanc 2009

The 2009 Sauvignon Blanc is different from our previous vintages, as all the grapes come from Elgin, making this our first Wine of Origin Elgin to be released from the farm.

The juice was fermented with different yeast strains in stainless steel tanks and the wine spent 4 months on the lees. The result is a vivid, rich Sauvignon Blanc with an excellent nose and palate.

Also Available in 750ml & 375ml.

Style & Tasting Notes

Our Sauvignon Blanc shows typical cooler climate aromas with flint notes, flavours of grass, granadilla and gooseberry. The wine is perfectly balanced with fresh acidity, rich minerality and a crisp, yet smooth finish. The wine was bottled under Stelvin closure to ensure optimal freshness and no cork-taint

Wine Making Notes

Our goal with the Vrede en Lust Sauvignon Blanc is for a wine with elegance, balance and richness. The grapes for the 2009 Sauvignon Blanc were harvested at different sugar levels late in February up until mid March. The juice was fermented separately and blended post fermentation. A small % Semillon was blended into this wine to add to its complexity.
