tasting notes
The colour is pale with a slight green tinge. The nose reminds you of freshly crushed mint and rocket leaves as well as kiwi fruit and green figs. The taste is fresh and minerally with a textured mouth-feel and lingering finish.
 
ageing potential
Can age for 3 years. Although Sauvignon is generally enjoyed young, previous vintages of the Travelling Stone have shown that this wine can age well.
 
blend information
100% Sauvignon Blanc
 
food suggestions
White fish, fresh salads especially caprese salad, goats cheese, smoked salmon or sushi.
 
in the vineyard
A single vineyard wine. The roots of the vines are nestled amongst round sandstone and quartzite boulders and only the free run juice is used for the Travelling Stone. The East-western row direction of the vines guarantees the best possible contact with cooling breezes. This vineyard has the coolest night temperature on the estate.

The Story
Round Sandstone and Quartzite boulders came rolling from the mountains higher up in the valley, down the Breede River and settled on the southern part of Weltevrede Estate. Sauvignon Blanc thrives on this terroir that came travelling from far away.
