in the vineyard : Our viticulturist sources the finest quality grapes from the Western Cape for the Pavillion wines. All the vineyards were pruned to two-bud spurs between July and August. Shoots were removed, leaving only two to three per hand-spaced spur. Shortly after véraison, unevenly ripened bunches were removed for greater flavour concentration in the berries remaining on the vine.

about the harvest: Grapes were picked during the early morning to ensure maximum retention of the fine fruit flavours.

in the cellar : After minimal skin contact and light pressing, the juice underwent clean and cold fermentation at 14°C in stainless steel. This allowed for the fresh Sauvignon Blanc flavours to be captured in the wine, which was left on the fine lees for complexity and integration.
