Wild House Sauvignon Blanc: A Vibrant and Sustainable Expression of South African Wine
If you’re looking for a refreshing and sustainable wine that embodies the unique terroir of South Africa, then look no further than Wild House Sauvignon Blanc. This wine is a true expression of the Western Cape region, where cool coastal breezes and diverse soils create the perfect conditions for producing high-quality Sauvignon Blanc grapes.
A Look at the Production Process forWild House Sauvignon Blanc
The grapes used to make Wild House Sauvignon Blanc are hand-harvested from the Elgin region, known for its cool climate and ideal growing conditions for this varietal. In addition to the grapes from Elgin, small parcels from cooler sites in Paarl and Franschhoek are also used to create a flavour profile that is truly unique.
Once the grapes are harvested, they are gently pressed and the juice is settled for 48 hours. The wine is then naturally fermented in stainless steel tanks, with no additions other than a small dose of sulphur. This minimal intervention approach allows the unique flavours and aromas of the grapes to shine through in the final product.
After fermentation, the wine is kept on the gross lees for 5 months to further develop its texture and complexity. This technique is commonly used in Sauvignon Blanc production to create a wine that is taut, mineral, and has a long finish.
Tasting Notes – Wild House Sauvignon Blanc
When you first open a bottle of Wild House Sauvignon Blanc, you’ll be greeted with intense citrus and crushed nettle aromas. These scents are a testament to the high-quality grapes used to make this wine, as well as the careful production process that was employed.
Upon tasting, you’ll notice ripe, concentrated fruit flavours that are offset by a grapefruit tang and leafy characters. This creates a balanced and refreshing wine that is perfect for sipping on a warm summer evening. The wine finishes with a long, textural finish that lingers on the palate and leaves you wanting more.
Food Pairings – Wild House Sauvignon Blanc
Wild House Sauvignon Blanc is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of different dishes. If you’re looking for a simple yet elegant pairing, try serving this wine with a simply cooked sea bass with a salsa verde. The acidity of the wine will cut through the richness of the fish and create a harmonious flavour profile.
For those who prefer poultry, lemon roasted chicken is another excellent option. The citrus notes in the wine complement the lemon in the dish, while the mineral notes add a touch of complexity.
If you’re feeling adventurous and want to try something more exotic, why not pair Wild House Sauvignon Blanc with an aromatic Thai dish? The wine’s acidity and fruitiness will balance out the spice in the food and create a unique flavour experience.
