Deep Rooted Wines Journey to the Centre of the Universe Blanc Fume

This wine is a blend of three parcels of Sauvignon blanc within the Walker Bay that each elicited that same incredible feeling that speaks to one’s soul, stating its potential. The three wards are Sondagskloof, Stanford Foothills and Klein River Lagoon. Two of the parcels are whole bunch pressed while the third is crushed and left on the skins for 6 hours before pressing. Fermentation occurred naturally in 500L old French oak barrels and remained on the gross lees for 10 months before bottling.

This wine is the story of how I came to find my place in Walker Bay. After seven years of challenging exploration, working and immersing myself in many great wine regions around the world, I came home. I discovered the incredible cool-climate vineyards of the Cape South Coast. The wildness of this place, from its abundance of fynbos to the roaring wind and sea, creates a desolate landscape that is difficult to cultivate and requires a close relationship with nature in order to thrive.

The nose shows subtle notes of lime, white peach and blackcurrant while the palate is lean yet flavourful – great clarity of fruit, a good line of acidity and a finish which is long and dry. A particularly elegant, well-balanced offering. – Tim Atkin 93/100
