Almenkerk Sauvignon Blanc 2021

In the early 2000s Joris and Natalie moved from Oostduinkerke in West Flanders (where Joris parents kept the well-known restaurant “de Mikke” open) to Elgin in South Africa, the new trendy “cold climate” region that is reminiscent of Scotland in view and in terms of quality. climate in Burgundy.
This single vineyard wine, elegant, complex Sauvignon Blanc with a core of minerality, was their first wine and was soon on the map with Sergio Herman and Peter Goossens.
The 2019 Almenkerk Sauvignon Blanc shows fruity aromas of elderflower, gooseberry, white peach and paprika, underpinned by fresh granny smith apples, cut grass and refractory river pebbles. Built on natural acidity and a core of minerality. This wine has a round mouthfeel and a lingering aftertaste due to the prolonged contact with the lees.
Grapes grow at 305 meters above sea level in a sunny and windy place where the grapes suffer to develop beautiful concentrated flavors, no irrigation!
