SURVIVOR TERROIR SAUVIGNON BLANC - 6 x 750ml

As a true expression of the sought-after Elgin terroir, this Sauvignon Blanc brings purpose to your glass. It offers aromas of ruby grapefruit, passion fruit, and white pear, all underpinned by a slate-like crisp acidity that practically leaps out of the glass. The palate is balanced, with the freshness complemented by the lees texture, contributing to the wine's lengthy finish.

The grapes were harvested in two stages. One block was picked at 22° Balling and the other at 22.8° Balling to achieve different flavour spectrums. Both blocks were hand-picked in the early mornings, then crushed and destemmed under a CO2 blanket. The skins were left to cold macerate in tanks for 16 hours to extract the flavour precursors. The tank was then emptied into a press, and the free-run and light press juice were separated from the rest. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks, with the fermentation temperature maintained at around 12°C for three weeks. After three months on the fermentation lees, the wine was racked and sulphured. Bottling took place in early spring.

Grapes come from two vineyard blocks in the Elgin area lying at 540 meters above sea level. One block is planted in an east-west row direction, while the other is planted in a north-south direction. The soils are derived from broken sandstone and have a high clay content, which is essential for excellent water retention. Because of this great water-holding capacity, the vineyards can be dryland farmed. The vines benefit from the cooling sea breezes of the Cape South Coast.
