Raka Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Appearance: Clear, lime green in colour.
Wine Style: Dry.
Bouquet and Palate: This is a crisp, elegant and fresh Sauvignon blanc with citrus and mineral tones on the nose. On the palet the wine is fruitier with gooseberry  and lemon characters;  these follow trough  to a dry integrated acidity.

100% Sauvignon Blanc

Served well chilled, this wine is well suited to any seafood and cold meats. Also delightful on its own!

All grapes were hand picked

After harvesting, all grapes were sorted before being crushed directly in to the press where skin contact was allowed for 8 hours. Pure yeast cultures were inoculated in the juice after pressing in order to optimize the fermentation process at around 16°C. Extended lees contact was allowed after fermentation and the wine was allowed to naturally clarify under gravity prior to filtering and bottling.
