Wild House Sauvignon Blanc

Wild House Sauvignon Blanc

An impressive addition to the Wild House range, naturally fermented, predominantly from grapes grown in Elgin, a coastal region renowned for high quality, cool climate Sauvignon Blanc

PRODUCTION
Hand harvested grapes from Elgin, supplemented by small parcels from cooler sites in Paarl and Franschhoek, were gently pressed and the juice settled for 48 hours. Naturally fermented in stainless steel tanks, with no additions other than a small dose of sulphur, and kept on the gross lees for 5 months.
TASTING NOTE
A vibrant cool climate style of Sauvignon with intense citrus and crushed nettle aromas. Ripe, concentrated fruit is offset by a grapefruit tang and leafy characters. Taut and mineral with a long, textural finish.

Wild House is a lifestyle range which reflects a place of raw energy, a weather-beaten hut exposed to the storm-swept slopes of the Cape’s mountains. Inspired by the ever-shifting views of the landscape and weather from each aspect of the house, we crafted this range of wines to reflect the land we call home.

Boutinot South Africa is driven by our passion for discovery and desire to capture the real essence of South Africa in every bottle. It was the simple love of Loire Chenin Blanc that first led us to South Africa in 1994, where we pioneered the wild ferment style that has now been adopted by many producers in this region.

Since then we have been exploring the country’s amazing vineyards to make fabulous wines from specific sites and plots that scream location, location, terroir.. Our home-grown South African winemaking team of JD Rossouw, Ryno Booysen and Pierre Louw drive the energy and enthuasiam for expressing the loveliest wines from their country, along with Samantha Bailey’s expertise in finesse. The key is knowing the characteristics of each plot, understanding the benefits each cultivar can bring, breaking rules and pushing boundaries. We use a combination of knowledge, a love of nature and science to create versatile, expressive and food-friendly wines from a country that has been making wine for 360 years.
