White Wine by Simonsig from South Africa. Pale straw color with hints of green. Fresh tropical fruit on the nose. Delicious concentration of riper sauvignon fruit fill the palate showing green figs, kiwi fruit and gooseberries. Zesty and refreshingly crisp in its youth which should develop into a silky roundness over time. A warm, dry vintage wih welcome rain in October and around New Year replenished moisture in the soil and prevented moisture stress. The sauvignon harvest started 2 weeks earlier than normal in the last week of January and was finished on February 9. The early picking retained more fruit intensity. The wine is made in a reductive style by protecting the juice against oxidation from the vineyard all the way into the bottle. The wine takes time to open up and normally reaches its peak 8 to 10 months after vintage. This is substantiated by the Wine Spectator rating the 2004 Sauvignon Blanc 89 points a full year after vintage.
