About the Winery
Carmen Stevens Sauvignon Blanc 2019
About the wine
The Carmen Stevens Sauvignon Blanc is a zesty and fresh wine. Flowed by a fusion of figs and passion fruit aromas. The palate entrance is crisp, clean and concentrated. This Sauvignon Blanc has a great balance between fruit expression, lovely depth of character, zesty acidity with a fullness of palate to cut through the crisp acidity. A beautiful example of a Sauvignon Blanc from the cool climate region in South Africa.

Winemaking process
Fruit are hand-sorted and destemmed using dry ice as protection to preserve the purity of fruit that is expected. High natural acidity and very cold temperatures result in successful juice settling overnight. Clean juice is separated the next day and a bigger % are fermented with a pure yeast culture. The balance is barrel fermented and stirred on a regular basis after fermentation.
Cellaring
Two to three years.
