Cronier Sauvignon Blanc Semi Sweet White Wine,South Africa Cronier Sauvignon Blanc price supplier

The Grapes for this wine came from a 8 year old Sauvignon

Blanc block planted in rich well drained Swartland/Glenrosa soil

types.

WINEMAKING

Sauvignon blanc grapes are harvested at low, early morning

temperatures and brought directly to the cellar. At the cellar

the grapes are destemmed and crushed and skin contact is

allowed for a few hours. The grapes are then pressed for juice

extraction, and the free run juice kept separate. The Sauvignon

blanc juice is allowed to settle for two days before the clear

juice is racked and inoculated with a yeast culture to start

fermentation.

Fermentation takes place at 13°C for approximately 14 days.

After fermentation, the Wine is allowed to undergo prolonged

lees contact to ensure fullness and complexity on the palate.

TASTING

Full ripe for gooseberry, pear and litchi flavours and slightly

greener for the distinctive asparagus nose that carries through

to the palate.
