Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Sauvignon Blanc from Elgin, South Africa. The focus of this wine is based on a vineyard component arising from low yielding Table Mountain Sandstone soils. Using neutral yeasts, Shannon Sauvignon Blanc expresses very distinctive and concentrated primary fruit aromas. The clay/shale soils however, provide the Sauvignon Blanc with flavours on the riper side of the fruit spectrum and with more structure for a broader palate. The blending in of naturally fermented Sauvignon Blanc, matured on the lees, provides a fuller mouth feel and adds to the complexity of the wine.
Taste Profile:Shannon Sanctuary Peak Sauvignon Blanc 2020 is made of 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes. A lightly wooded Sauvignon Blanc that has wonderful flavors of grapefruit, lime and green herbs, asparagus and some capsicum in a minerally and flinty style.
Winemaking Process: The grapes are chilled to 3C. The bunches are sorted on a conveyor, destemmed and crushed. All transfers of grape must and juice in these early stages are attained using gravity. Selected parcels of the grapes undergo a period of skin contact, at 8C to encapture favourable skin flavours. After a gentle pressing, the juice is left to settle for a period of 72 hours at 2C. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks continues at 12C until the wine is dry
