PC Sauvignon Blanc

This wine goes well with salads, lighter summer dishes and seafood, or enjoy on its own on a nice summer day.

Between two mighty oceans on the southern tip of Africa lies the historic Saxenburg Wine Farm. Here memory and the seasons conspire with the cellarmaster’s craft to produce unique wines of consistent and exceptional quality. For centuries wayfarers bound for the East Indies found hospitality and relief at the Fairest Cape. At Saxenburg we extend this tradition and invite you to visit our world.

The grapes were sourced from various vineyard parcels on Saxenburg, ranging in elevation from 175m to 260m above sea level. These parcels are picked and treated individually in both the vineyard and cellar. Some components contribute to the more tropical fruit spectrum, while others bring more minerality and greener notes.

The grapes were all picked at cool temperatures early in the morning and received between 4 - 6 hours of skin contact, before being pressed and settled. The majority was cold fermented with selected yeast strains in stainless steel tanks, while a small portion (5%) was fermented naturally in older oak barrels and 1% Semillon was used for texture on the palate. After 3 months of lees contact and lees stirring, the wine was blended and prepared for bottling.
