West Yorkshire, BD19 3QW
Fresh and zesty with grassy, bay leaf aromatics, mineral notes, and lots of minerality and citrus.
An independent company, owned by Waterkloof founder Paul Boutinot, False Bay Vineyards aims to make `real` wine affordable. These are sustainable certified wines bottled in South Africa and naturally crafted from mature and often old vineyards that, crucially, are naturally in balance. This means that, unusually at the price, the grapes from these coastal gems can be transformed into wine with wild yeast and an absolute minimum of intervention.
False Bay Vineyards is proud to be a WWF (World Wildlife Fund) Biodiversity Champion and certified by WIETA (Wine and Agricultural Ethical Trade Association). All of their wines are Vegan friendly.
False Bay Windswept Sauvignon Blanc stems from vineyards in Stellenbosch, some of which are a mere 3 miles from The Atlantic Ocean. These low yielding vineyards allow slower ripening, natural acidity and a greater concentration of flavours.
Made by Waterkloof`s talented young Cellarmaster Nadia Barnard. Only balanced grapes are hand harvested, then a portion of the juice is fermented spontaneously with wild yeast. The wine spends a minimum of 6 months on lees before bottling.
Fresh and zesty with grassy and dry bay leaf aromatics, fynbos (indidgenous South African bush), mineral notes, with hints of richness. This is a restrained Sauvignon Blanc with a palate that has lots of minerality and citrus with just a touch of green pepper and grass.
Perfect with a host of Mediterranean dishes, or with Chinese squid or Thai fish dishes.
