Circumstance Sauvignon Blanc

Circumstance Sauvignon Blanc is produced from the same South West facing, low yielding and windswept slopes of Schaapenberg Mountain that also is the vineyard source for Waterkloof Sauvignon Blanc. Strong winds churn up the vineyards with regularity. This allows for low production and intense flavours. The vineyards are about 4 kilometres from the sea, and are planted at a height of between 270 and 300 meters above sea level. The soils are of sandstone origin with medium size stones, providing excellent drainage while retaining a certain level of critical moisture. The average age of the vineyards is between 9 and 11 years. Production was approximately 3 - 4 tons/ha. 100% dry irrigation.

RECOGNITION:

Awarded Gold medal from Decanter

VARIETAL:

Sauvignon Blanc

VINIFICATION:

The grapes were crushed and destemmed , followed by a very soft pressing using the champagne cycle on the press. It was allowed to settle for 24 hours before the clear juice was racked. No enzymes were added. The juice was racked from the settling tank and inoculated with Vin 7 cultivated yeast. It was fermented at temperatures of between 15 and 16 degrees Celsius and took 4 weeks to complete. After fermentation, the wine was left on the primary lees for 30 days. This added more complexity and body to the palate. The wine was then racked and left on the fine lees until bottling

COMMENTS:

Circumstance Sauvignon Blanc shows a lovely minerality at the core. The flavours are an enchanting fusion of tropical citrus, passion fruit & spicy white pepper. Lovely upon release, this wine will continue to develop for many years.
