Description

Gabriëlskloof Amphora Sauvignon Blanc

Gabriëlskloof Amphora Sauvignon Blanc is part of their Reserve Range, only bottling outstanding vintages.

Golden straw colour. The open and expressive nose offers aromas of lychee, blackcurrant, white peach and pear. The textured palate is saline with a lively zesty lemon and lime core. Closes in lingering, fresh honey and lemon finish. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. The fruit comes from a special block in Elgin that sits at an altitude of 300 metres. Elgin has a reputation as the coolest wine region in South Africa. It provides perfect slow ripening conditions for an aromatic Sauvignon Blanc with excellent acidity.

All of the fruit went through whole bunch pressing and fermentation in clay amphorae. The wine ages for 10 months in the same amphorae, ranging between 500L and 860L sizes. What started out as a project, now turning into an official wine on their line up!
As a part of Garbielskloof's Reserve Range, it's guaranteed to be an outstanding vintage.
