Southern Right Sauvignon Blanc (2022)

The 2022 is a wine that favours origin expressive individuality, minerality and palate complexity ahead of simple, pungent varietal aroma. A significant percentage of fruit from iron and clay-rich soil has added a textural and structural component and additional overall complexity to this wine. The sandstone soils have contributed their typical bright, tensile character and a marked, saline minerality.

Fresh and focused, offering flavors of pink grapefruit granita, lime zest, pickled ginger and graphite. The well-spiced, salty finish is driven by sleek acidity.

The grapes for Hemel En Aarde Southern Right 2022 Sauvignon Blanc were sourced from 27 sites, and a portion of the wine was aged in neutral oak barrels after four months of resting on its lees. Fragrant and fresh with aromas of yellow apple, fir, light ginger spice and minerally flavours with a finessed finish. Nicely done. Drink or hold.
