Circumstance Sauvignon Blanc 2020
Stellenbosch
These 20-year old vines are 300m above and a mere 2 miles from the Atlantic, with very low yields. Naturally present wild yeast is employed to ferment the juice, mainly in old 600litre barrels, with a longer fermentation process producing a slow release of aromas and a more structured palate.
There is a subtle elderflower nose, which leads into a concentrated mouthful of ripe gooseberry fruit with a streak of lime, underpinned with steely acidity and finishing with a touch of minerality.
This is a unique Sauvignon, which is more French than New World in style, with more than a hint of Pouilly Fumé. Normally retails at £12.99!
