2010 Neil Ellis Groenekloof Sauvignon Blanc


We love this Sauvignon Blanc in part because it is a fabulous example of the difference between most South African and New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs -- not a bit of grapefruit here. Isn't terroir cool?!

Wine Spectator>
"90 pts ... A crackling version is filled with notes of thyme, chive and fleur de sel, ending with an extra gooseberry kick on the finish."
Winemaker's Notes
"Predominant flavours are those of tropical fruit with herbaceous overtones, whilst the overall impression is of elegance and delicacy with a long flavoursome finish."
Technical Notes
"The juice was handled reductively and left to settle for 3 days after which it was racked and inoculated to ferment at low temperatures. Left on the lees for 3 months before blending and bottling. 13.5% alc."
