2021 Elgin Vintners Sauvignon Blanc

£14.00

Elgin Vintners Sauvignon Blanc is a true gem from South Africa’s coolest wine region, where the unique terroir crafts a wine of exceptional character and finesse.

At an altitude of 305m and kissed by the crisp, coastal breezes of the Atlantic, the vineyards of Elgin enjoy an extended ripening period that brings out the very best in the Sauvignon Blanc grape. This slower, cooler maturation allows the grapes to develop complex flavours while maintaining a natural balance, resulting in a wine that is both delicate and powerful.

With a refreshing acidity and a vibrant profile, this 100% Sauvignon Blanc is a perfect example of what makes Elgin wines so special. The meticulous viticulture, including careful canopy management and the use of two specific clones, ensures that every grape is packed with the aromatic potential that shines through in the glass. The vinification process is equally precise, with handpicked grapes, a careful mix of fermentation techniques, and six months of aging on fine lees, all contributing to the wine's depth and complexity.

Tasting Note: On the palate, Elgin Vintners Sauvignon Blanc dazzles with bright, zesty notes and a crisp finish. It's an incredibly versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes, from light salads and fresh seafood to more indulgent options like creamy cheeses and even desserts like pavlova. Whether you're enjoying a relaxed lunch or hosting a gourmet dinner, this wine is sure to impress.

Elgin Vintners

Elgin Vintners is more than just a winery; it’s a story of passion, tradition, and a deep connection to the cool-climate Elgin Valley, South Africa’s premier wine region. Founded by a group of dedicated vintners, including Dr Max Hahn and James Rawbone-Viljoen, each brings their own unique expertise and love for the land to the table.

Dr Max Hahn, with his background in geology, chemistry, and medicine, found his way to owning Elgin Vintners through a mix of fate and a deep-rooted love for agriculture. His passion lies in the science of winemaking and the perfection of farming, ensuring that every grape contributes to the exceptional wines Elgin Vintners is known for.

James Rawbone-Viljoen, whose roots in the Elgin Valley run deep, brings a personal touch to the winemaking process. For him, the true joy of wine comes from sharing it with others and seeing the satisfaction it brings. His dedication to creating and sharing Elgin Vintners’ wines has built a global family of loyal followers.

Together, Max and James have harnessed the natural gifts of the Elgin Valley—its cool climate, altitude, and abundant water—to craft wines that reflect the land and the dedication behind every bottle. With Elgin Vintners, you’re not just enjoying a glass of wine; you’re tasting the essence of a place where passion meets the vine.
