Gretchen Sauvignon Blanc

The brilliant crystal-clear color makes a refreshing and crisp statement. Primary notes bursting of kiwi and white melon. Hints of guava and granadilla complete the fruit profile.   Balanced acidity and delicate fruit tones on the mid-palate ensures a lingering finish

WINEMAKING:

• The grapes for this wine are sourced only from the coolest slopes in the Western Cape, enabling only the best Sauvignon grape flavors to be released into the wine.
• The grapes were harvested by hand earlier this year into small 20kg cases. The grapes were then transported in the cool of the morning to the cellar.
• The grapes were hand tipped into the press for a long three-hour whole bunch pressing session. After this, the juice was cold fermented for 3 weeks in stainless steel tanks. Once dry, the wine was racked off its ferment lees and aged for 6 months before being bottled.

FOOD PAIRING:
Best enjoyed with chicken, pork, fish, shellfish, cheese and vegetarian cuisine. This crispy and fresh palatable wine pairs well with a variety of fish dishes, various salads, artichokes and asparagus. It is a match made in heaven with lobster and crab curries.
