Tasting Notes
"The 2023 Fleurfontein is pure Sauvignon Blanc with less residual sugar than the 2022, at 230.8 g/l. This as a more linear nose, less flamboyant than the 2022 and perhaps a little waxier in style. The palate has a lovely viscous texture and keen line of acidity, displaying note of quince, lemon verbena, clementine and apricot. Very elegant and composed on the finish, the 2023 is gorgeous." 95pts, Neal Martin, Vinous.com
More Info
Produced from exclusively estate grown fruit, and a true labour of love! This is not a botrytised wine, or a straw wine. Raisins are produced by pinching the stem of the grape bunches while they ripen on the vine which stops the translocation of fluids in and out of the grapes and allows them to dry naturally during the warm summer. The name comes from a beautiful spring on the farm near the Sauvignon Blanc vineyard from which the grapes are sourced.
