Cape Town Sauvignon Blanc WO Koetshuis 2021 De Grendel

The Koetshius of the De Grendel company is produced in South Africa in the Western Cape area with Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grapes.

The grapes are harvested in vineyards located mainly in Lutzville and Darling. Harvesting is done by hand and the plots are kept separate to be then pressed and left in contact with the skins for about 6 hours. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. Part of the must ferments in new and second-use barriques, where it is kept on the lees for 100 days. Even 9% Semillon was fermented in oak barrels. Finally, all the components are blended and bottled.

Straw yellow in color with greenish reflections, it has intense aromas on the nose that recall tropical fruits such as pineapple, white melon, pears. On the palate it is creamy and enveloping, of great complexity and with balanced acidity that makes the sip compact and refreshing, with a long finish.

Perfect to accompany grilled salmon, sushi, asparagus and fish first courses.
