Gabrielskloof Amphora Sauvignon Blanc
A vintage that is somehow both edgier and more broadly yellow fruited, with a leesy, slightly reductive note bringing complexity.

Gabrielskloof Amphora Sauvignon Blanc
A vintage that is somehow both edgier and more broadly yellow fruited, with a leesy, slightly reductive note bringing complexity.
The Winemaker
Peter-Allan Finlayson, also of Crystallum, is known for his elegant and terroir-driven wines.
WINEMAKING WIZARDRY
As the name suggests, this wine is fermented and aged in clay amphorae. A portion of the grapes are fermented on their skins, which adds a textural element to the wine. This is a very natural process with minimal intervention.
STYLE
An innovative, minimal intervention Sauvignon Blanc showcasing texture and purity through amphora aging.
TERIOR
From a specific block of Sauvignon Blanc on the Gabrielskloof farm, with shale-derived soils. The proximity to the ocean creates a cool microclimate.
COMPOSITION
100% Sauvignon Blanc.
REGION
South Africa, Walker Bay, Bot River.
