The wine was aged 'sur-lie' for 6 months with occasional 'barrel rotations' to add richness to the palate. Four barrels were subjected to natural fermentation. No sulphide was added during vinification. |

Still white Sauvignon Blanc, 13.5% ABV, produced by Jordan Wine Estate Stellenbosch in South Africa, 2021 vintage. A Sauvignon Blanc that expresses the unique terroir of Stellenbosch, with a focus on sustainability and enhancing the winemaking heritage.

Aged "sur-lie" for 6 months with occasional barrel rotations to add richness on the palate. Captivating aromas and a complex blend of elderflower, melon, and sourdough with a hint of kelp. Bright flavors with a sensation of frankness and ancient flavor in the mid-palate, which carries over to a delicate but long finish, accompanied by notes of elderberry, which ends dry and saline.
