Shannon Sanctuary Peak Sauvignon Blanc, Elgin, South Africa

The Sauvignon grapes are grown in seven different vineyard blocks, mainly planted on sandstone soils rich in mineral quartz crystals with a deep underlying clay base. The soils act to reduce the varieties natural vigour and maintain low yields of highly flavoured grapes.

About 10% of the blend is Sémillon fermented with natural yeasts and matured for three months in 100% new French oak. The wine shows tremendous complexity with very distinctive and concentrated primary fruit aromas of asparagus, citrus, and bell pepper with underlying notes of richer, riper fruit.
