Douglas Green Vineyard Friends Sauvignon Blanc is light yellow colour with a green tint. The palate is mouthwatering with ripe fruit acidity supported by a good structure. A dry finish rounds of a very classical take on Sauvignon Blanc.
Shy and surreptitious by nature, the Grey Duiker mixes through compost and fynbos in the soil with its hooves, munching on insects as it goes. This wine honours the small African antelope - a zesty character that is equally as refreshing in spirit.
"In our quest to source unique and exclusive vineyards, we visit many sites and meet interesting farmers along the way. In the past few years, we have noticed a definitive move towards sustainable vineyard practices and the preservation of natural flora and fauna. The goal is to establish long term relationships with these growers and promote their innovative approach to sustainability so that the wines we produce today, can be enjoyed for generations to come."
Grapes are sourced from selected sites in Franschhoek, Perdeberg and the Klein Karoo. Harvested at optimum ripeness, cold settled and cold fermented (12-15°C) using varietal specific yeast strains to bring maximum classical expressive aromas to the wine. The natural acidity creates a tangy fruit driven core.
