Iona Sauvignon Blanc Wild Ferment 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Elgin
R285
‘A wine that does what it says on the label, this wild yeast-fermented Sauvignon Blanc hails from four sites on sandstone soils. The subtle wood integration is well done here, framing a palate of lemongrass, greengage and pink grapefruit and a herbal, faintly salty undertone. Impressive stuff. 2023-29’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 93/100
‘Perfectly ripe Sauvignon Blanc fermented with wild yeast in large wood format results in an array of complexity: textured, multi-layered with minerality, salinity, blackcurrant, white stone fruits, a rich palate and long zesty finish.’ – Winemaker

| Producer information | In 1997, Andrew Gunn purchased the beautiful Geelbeksvlei farm located 420 meters above sea-level, overlooking the Elgin Valley. This apple and pear farm was no longer proving to be profitable, and so with the advantageous location of the farm, Andrew decided to plant vines and pursue winemaking. Its high altitude and close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean results in a cool mesoclimate which has a moderating influence and results in consistent quality. |
