Rietvallei Wine Estate
Sauvignon Blanc / Colombar 2010
Viticulture
The vines are mostly planted on southeast facing slopes in rich limy soil. They are all trellised and were established from 1983 to 1999.
Winemaking
The grapes were picked at optimum ripeness at about 22° Balling (Brix). In the cellar the juice was cold fermented in stainless steel tanks at 15°C. After fermentation the wine was left on the fine lees for two months and then the two cultivars were blended just before bottling. This year the blend is 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Colombar.
The Winemaker’s Comments
The wine has a lovely floral bouquet with intense fruit flavours on the palate and a well balancing acidity makes for a zesty, long-lasting aftertaste. A fresh, fruity dry wine for everyday enjoyment.
