Silver Myn Sauvignon Blanc grapes are grown on south facing slopes, 10k from the sea, at an atlitude between 320 - 540 metres above sea level, on a decomposed granite soil. The vines are 6 -10 years old and benefit from drip irrigation. The grapes were hand-harvested, crushed and destemmed. Skin contact of 6 hrs was given. The juice was then pressed and cold settled for 2 days at 8 C. It was inoculated with a terroir selected yeast strain. After fermentation the wine was left on the fine lees upon which it was clarified for bottling. There was no malolactic fermentation or wood aging.
Previously a Platter's 'Super Quaffer of the Year'. Light yellow in colour with hints of lime green, the nose shows wonderful aromas multi-layered greener tropical fruit such as green melon, kiwi fruit and fig. This character is true to the Banghoek terroir - lots of gooseberry zip, linear, crisp and racy. This is a mouth filling wine with firm acidity leading to a multi-layered complex palate showing distinct mineral and fig flavours on the finish. Another classic from this 100% Bordelaise estate.
Drink with BBQ prawns and light summer salads, avocado with prawns.
