The Winemaker
Catherine Marshall is a respected winemaker with over 20 years of experience, known for her hands-on approach and focus on crafting elegant, site-specific wines.
WINEMAKING WIZARDRY
Grapes are hand-harvested and whole-bunch pressed. Fermentation occurs in a combination of stainless steel tanks and older French oak barrels, and the wine is aged on the lees for several months to enhance its texture and complexity.
STYLE
A classic, elegant Sauvignon Blanc known for its intense fruit and vibrant acidity.
TERIOR
Grapes are from cool-climate vineyards in Elgin, a high-altitude plateau. The cool temperatures and cloud cover result in a long, slow ripening period, which leads to intense fruit flavours and high natural acidity. Soils are predominantly sandstone and shale.
COMPOSITION
100% Sauvignon Blanc.
REGION
South Africa, Western Cape, Elgin.
