Spice Route Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Darling Sauvignon Blanc typically shows cool climate minerality and character. The vintage was later, due to cooler ripening conditions. The canopy also showed a lot of vigour, as we had very good winter rainfall and a cool ripening period. This Sauvignon Blanc will continue to develop and improve until 2010.

in the vineyard : Spice Route Sauvignon Blanc is grown on the cool rolling hills outside Darling, on the Cape west coast. These trellised Atlantic vineyards are on deep red oakleaf soils, and are amongst the finest Sauvignon Blanc vineyards in South Africa. Dryland farming and careful site selection result in Sauvignon Blanc with exceptional depth, flavour and character.
