Description
This vibrant Sauvignon Blanc bursts with tropical fruit aromas of guava and citrus, translating seamlessly to the palate with bright lemon and lime notes. Well-structured and full-bodied,
it offers depth and complexity, finishing with a crisp acidity and satisfying lingering aftertaste.

Grapes are hand picked early in the morning to retain freshness and fruit flavours. They are crushed and destemmed into the press and left till the next morning to press, giving the juice extended skin contact to increase its phenolic complexity and enhance its aromatic intensity. Once pressed, the juice is settled and fermented in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine is left on the lees for six months before being racked, fined and stabilized in preparation for bottling.

Commander Simon van der Stel of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) arrived at the Cape supply station in 1679. Estranged from his wife he arrived in the company of his children and sister-in-law, Cornelia Six. Back in the Netherlands van der Stel had gained a solid background in viticulture at his vineyards in Muiderbergh. There he learnt the art of wine and brandy making which he was soon to implement here in the Cape.
