The Usana Sauvignon Blanc has a lively acidity balanced out by the more tropical fruit characteristics it displays. On the nose and palate there are hints of gooseberry, passion fruit, with hints of freshly cut grass.
Serving suggestions:
The Usana Sauvignon Blanc is a superb wine for drinking on its own on a nice warm summer afternoon or it can be perfectly partnered with salads, fish and chicken dishes.
Usana Sauvignon Blanc (6/case) (R77/BOTTLE)
Cultivar: Sauvignon Blanc (100%)
Wine of Origin: Stellenbosch (South Africa)
In the Vineyards:
It was an early harvest due to the low rainfall in the months leading up to harvest. This gave beautiful intense flavours to the grapes. Our grapes came from a single block in our Stellenbosch vineyards. All the vineyards were trellised. All grapes are harvested by hand in individual bins in optimal conditions to ensure true quality from beginning to end.
In the Cellar:
We do whole bunch press. The juice is transferred to stainless steel tanks where it settled over night. The wine was naturally fermented using will yeast from on the grape and in the atmosphere. It spent a month on the lease before bottling in May.
