Brunia Wines Sauvignon Blanc Sondagskloof 2019 750ml

Practicing Biodynamic. The Sauvignon Blanc was sourced from a 17 year old single vineyard parcel grown on granitic soils on the slopes of the Koueberg Mountains. The vineyard is situated in the cool climate region of Sondagskloof on the south coast of South Africa. This barrel aged wine takes influence from the oxidative wines of the Jura and shows a waxy, light flor flavor profile.The grapes were handpicked. Whole bunch pressing was employed, and the must was settled overnight. Minimal sulphur is added at crush as to encourage natural fermentation from the indigenous yeast. No further additions are made. At the first sign of fermentation the juice is racked to barrels where it will complete fermentation. Fermentation generally lasts 14 – 18 days after which the barrels are topped up, natural malolactic fermentation is encouraged. Once stable, the wine was topped regularly and aged on the fermentation lees for a further 9 months before racking. The wine was then aged for further 27 months in barrel without the use of sulphur to develop the oxidative elements of the wine.
