Description
The focus of this wine is based on a vineyard component arising from low yielding Table
Mountain Sandstone soils. Using neutral yeasts, Shannon Sauvignon Blanc expresses very
distinctive and concentrated primary fruit aromas of asparagus, citrus, and some capsicum in
a minerally and flinty style.
The clay/shale soils however, provide the Sauvignon Blanc with flavours on the riper side of
the fruit spectrum and with more structure for a broader palate. The blending in of naturally
fermented Sauvignon Blanc, matured on the lees, provides a fuller mouth feel and adds to the
complexity of the wine. This wine was vinified in a style that enhances the aging potential of
Sauvignon Blanc.
