DMZ Sauvignon Blanc
Winery information: De Morgenzon's (the morning sun) slopes rise from about 200m to nearly 400m above sea level and the views embrace Cape Town, Table Mountain,
Cape Point, Cape Hangklip, the Hottentots Holland mountains, Helderberg and Simonsberg with the ocean as a backdrop. De Morgenzon likes to be known as 'a garden vineyard'. In Spring specially chosen wildflowers flourish
between our vines. The thinking is that a biodiverse and ecologically sensitive environment produces infinitely better grapes and the beauty of the gardens is captured in every bottle of our wine. e Baroque music is piped through our vineyards 24x7 in the belief that the power of music positively influences the ripening process.
Viticulture: These Sauvignon blanc vineyards are situated along the west coast. Trellised vineyard is anaged to ensure natural high acidity and full flavour concentration.
The yield was 8 ons per hectare.
Vinification: Bunch selection was done in the vineyard. The grapes were left on the skins over night, nd lightly pressed. After settling the juice was racked and inoculated with VIN13. ermentation took place at 13ºC to ensure a fruity wine that will linger in your memory.
Tasting Note: Pale, bright gold with green reflections. Expansive nose blossoming with youth and bursting fresh bouquet on the nose. Heaps of fresh, ripe, sweet fruit in the mouth with jangle of brisk acidity. Intense and almost like a stroppy young teenager full of vigour yet still has the breeding to tone down and develop over a year or two. Enjoy now in the xuberance of youth and follow it’s development over next few years
