ORIGIN
This is a 100% Sauvignon Blanc wine, made from the eighth production of grapes from one vineyard in the Walker Bay area close to the town Bot River. The slope faces south-west and lies about ten kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean.

VINICULTURE
Grapes were picked at between 22 to 24 degrees Balling and transported to the La Motte cellar in a refrigerated truck. After de-stalking, the grapes were cold-soaked for sixteen hours. Fermentation of twenty fi ve days in stainless steel tanks was at 15 degrees Celsius.

CELLARMASTER’S IMPRESSIONS
Green apple aromas are dominant, followed by cut grass, melon and dried sage. The palate is more tropical, showing fruit salad fl avours, with hints of sweetcorn, while the fi nish is fl inty and fresh. The acid is fi rmer than in previous years.

CONNOISSEUR’S CHOICE
A refreshing aperitif and perfect with salads, sea-foods, sea-food pasta and spicy foods such as Chinese and Thai dishes.
