KLEIN AMOSKUIL The Amos Block Sauvignon Blanc 2022

The single vineyard was hand-harvested at 21,1 degree balling, with a natural acidity of 7.05g/l. The bunches were gently destalked and crushed and thereafter underwent 90 hours of skin contact. After 48 hours of settling, 30% of the juice was transferred to seasoned French oak barrels and the balance fermented in stainless steel tanks

A feat for such a variety in the hot Swartland climate, this is the antithesis of Sauvignon Blanc. It has a wonderfully aromatic and energetic style, full of notes of fig, gooseberries, nettles with minerality and crisp acidity. It is bright and refreshing but with a lovely texture, making it more generous on the palate than you might expect.
