Iona Sauvignon Blanc Wild Ferment 2023 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Elgin
R285
‘More complex than the standard Iona Sauvignon Blanc - although that is a very good brand in its own right - this is a Fumé style white that was fermented in older barrels. Taut, pithy, savoury and leesy, it has a winning combination of subtle aromatic spices, layers of kelp and pink grapefruit and a slightly salty finish. 2024-27’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 93/100

| 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. |
