Kleine Zalze Family Reserve Sauvignon Blanc Sur Lie 2022

Tasting Notes
Analysis & Info

Only the very best Sauvignon Blancs in the winery are selected for this wine, to create what we believe is a world-class expression of the cultivar. The intensely structured palate is laden with aromas of tropical fruit, supported by a backbone of the grassy, green pepper aromas that Sauvignon Blanc is so well-known for. Subtle notes of oak round out the long finish of the wine.

Food Suggestion
Ageing	This is a serious wine with a long future and will reward careful cellaring for the next 5 to 8 years.
Cellar
Harvest	The grapes were handpicked early in the morning and in some cases even during the night.
Vineyard	The grapes were selected from vineyards in Durbanville and Darling, all near the cooling breeze of the Atlantic Ocean. Due to a cool, wet spring, budding was seven to 14 days later than usual, but consistently good and even, promising a great vintage. Some leaf plucking in the bunch zone early in December ensured enough sunlight on the fruit and created a healthy microclimate around the bunches.
