Description of Groot Constantia Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Groot Constantia Sauvignon Blanc 2020 (Sauvignon Blanc)

TASTING NOTES:

Appearance: Pale straw colour with a lime green rim.
Nose: Great complexity on the nose, dominated by ripe fruit like white peach, passion fruit and guava with a distinct grassy, herbal undertone and a hint of lemon.
Mouth: The palate has intensity and length, balanced by fresh natural acidity.

VINEYARD: Groot Constantia

GRAPES: 93% Sauvignon blanc, 7% Semillon

AGEING: After fermentation, the wine is left on the lees for six months before being racked, refined and stabilized in preparation for bottling.

PREPARATION: Grapes are hand-picked early in the morning to retain freshness and fruit flavours. They are crushed and destemmed into the press giving the juice some skin contact before being separated. Only the free-run juice is used. The juice is settled and cold fermented in stainless steel tanks to enhance the varietal characters.

PAIRING: Oysters with Aioli or Ravioli with Green Pea Pesto makes for a good pairing with this wine

ABV: 13.5%

Vi tog den med aptitretarna medan vi väntade på maten. Den var del av en vinprovsmakning.
Jag noterade en stark färg. Man märker tydligt aromen från de vita frukterna. Smaker av svart plommonkompott.

Notas de frutas brancas como a maçã. Muito leve e fresco.
Demasiado comercial para o meu gosto.

Groot Constantia Constantia Sauvignon Blanc er en vin med en kraftig mørk gul farge. Den har aromaer av hvite blomster.Etterlater en søt smak i munnen.
Den var god med ris feira.
Den var del av partiet fra selskapet.

4/5

Excellent fragrant wine. Will be better still with a year or two of age.

4/5

- The cool dry conditions resulted in a beautiful, aromatic wine with an abundance of passion fruit and melon on the nose with subtle notes of grass and nettles. The ripe tropical fruit follows on the palate, while the herbaceous edge and crisp acidity leaves the palate fresh and dry.
- 2015 was a great year for Sauvignon Blanc.
