Tasting Notes
A wine grown high up on the foothills of the Groenlandberg in Elgin. Oak Valley 'Fountain of Youth' Sauvignon Blanc expresses fruit aromas of passion fruit, white peach and litchi with a slight herbaceous undertone. Flavours of passion fruit persist on the palate, particularly granadilla, lemons, white pear, gooseberry and a lovely saline finish that reminds one of fresh oyster shells or sea salt.
In The Vineyard
With the cool climate of Elgin resulting in a delayed ripening time, our Sauvignon Blanc is allowed to mature in the vineyard where other warmer regions do not have this luxury.
In The Cellar
Reductive wine making with cool fermentation temperatures results in a wine bursting with beautiful depth of fruit.
