On the palate

The Nauticus 2024 exemplifies the best of cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc. This pale straw-coloured wine greets the nose with vibrant aromas of green apple, zesty citrus and a flinty minerality. On the palate, these flavours are complemented by intriguing notes of exotic fruit, while extended lees contact in concrete eggs imparts a fuller mouthfeel. The wine's coastal origins shine through in a distinctively saline finish, creating a harmonious balance between freshness and complexity. This Sauvignon Blanc deftly combines the variety's characteristic vibrancy with a unique textural depth, offering a truly memorable tasting experience.

Hasher Family Estate is a family-owned farm in South Africa’s sought after Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Founded by the Herten-Haspeslagh family, the farm represents the coming together of centuries of European farming heritage with a lifelong passion for Africa. Run by a young and passionate team, the farm proudly produces exceptional wines that celebrate the cool maritime climate and unique soil the area has become known for.

The grapes come from two sites specifically selected for their cool climates and closeness to the sea. Both vineyard sites are located less than1km away from Hasher Family Wines. The 2023-2024 wine growing season was marked by resilience and promise. While a devastating September 2023 storm ravaged roads and scarred mountains, our vineyards emerged unscathed, protected by cover crops and efficient drainage systems. This event reinforced our deep respect for nature's power. The season began with an early bud break, followed by a spring of favourable temperatures. As summer progressed with warmer temperatures, berry sizes trended smaller than average, but this resulted in concentrated flavours and aromas. Despite the dramatic prelude, the growing season proceeded smoothly to an intensely flavourful vintage that showcases both the challenges and triumphs of this remarkable year. Each vineyard was handpicked individually at optimal ripeness. The first vineyard was picked on the 8th of February 2024. The last grapes were picked on the 21st of February.

The chilled grapes were all sorted by hand before destemmed and gravity fed into fermenters. The juice was left to settle for 48h in a stainless steel tank, before being racked to concrete eggs and seasoned French oak barrels to start the fermentation. The remaining 55% was left to ferment in stainless steel thank. All fermentations were left to ferment spontaneously, although some were inoculated to help complete the dry fermentation. The fermentation lasted about 3 weeks.
