Kruger Family Wines Old Vines Sauvignon Blanc 2020 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R225
‘Old-vine Sauvignon Blancs are comparatively rare in South Africa, so it's good to see Johan Kruger making the most of such promising raw material. Leesy, nettley and complex with ageing in older oak adding another layer to the saline finish. 2021-24’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2021, 92/100
‘From single Stellenbosch block planted in 1988. Emphasis on texture rather tan overt fruit, has weight, breadth cut by bracing fresh core. Natural ferment older oak.’ – Kruger Family Wines
