| EIKENDAL SAUVIGNON BLANC 2023 WO Elgin |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
EIKENDAL |
| Bright pale straw colour. Very attractive, slightly spicy, gently grassy, fresh, ripe, lemon-apple meringue along with some minerally notes. Dry, medium bodied, nicely structured, slightly spicy, fresh, bright, ripe, apple-lemon-grapefruit flavours with a lingering, crisp, unoaked finish. Terrific value - it is made from two clones of hand-picked grapes grown in a site-specific block of unirrigated vines in the cool Elgin highlands (350m). Batonnaged every 2 weeks for 2 months before bottling, it has 13% alcohol, 2.4 g/L residual sugar and a hefty 6.5 g/L total acidity with lot number 19/6/23 on the upper part of the glass bottle. A versatile crowd-pleaser - don’t miss this Gold Medal winner. Screwcap closure |
