Description
False Bay Windswept Sauvignon Blanc is crafted from cool, windswept coastal vineyards in Stellenbosch, where the proximity to the Atlantic ensures naturally balanced grapes with vibrant acidity and pure varietal character. The result is a fresh, zesty, and mineral-driven Sauvignon Blanc that balances citrus brightness with subtle herbaceous and peachy depth, offering a refined alternative to more overtly tropical expressions of the grape. Produced by False Bay Vineyards, founded by Paul Boutinot of Waterkloof, this wine is vegan-friendly, sustainably farmed, and naturally crafted.
Why You’ll Love It
This is coastal Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc from False Bay Vineyards, founded by Paul Boutinot of Waterkloof and created to produce authentic wines made with minimal intervention. The grapes are sourced from low-yielding vineyards in Stellenbosch, some just three miles from the Atlantic Ocean. These sites provide slow ripening, natural acidity, and concentrated flavours. Hand-harvested grapes are fermented with a portion using spontaneous wild yeast and the remainder inoculated. The wine spends at least six months on lees before bottling. No additions are made apart from sulphur. This is South African Sauvignon Blanc with coastal character, mineral-driven purity, and natural winemaking.
