Lourensford6x The Dome Sauvignon Blanc 2024

About

Lourensford wines express their commitment as a family to the unique cultural treasures and land entrusted to us in the historic Lourensford Estate. Established by Governor Willem Adriaan van der Stel in 1709, Lourensford has a proud history as a world-class fruit farm and the wealth of glorious Proteas point to our rich floral heritage. Fortunately, the winemaking tradition was revived when well-known Cape businessman, Dr Christo Wiese purchased the Estate in 1998.

Product Features

• 15% of the wine was made from grapes that were frozen for a few weeks and then defrosted, pressed and fermented during Autumn.
• 30% of the wine was moved to old 600L French oak barrels halfway through fermentation and another 10% moved to second-fill French oak barrels with Acacia heads and aged for 7 months before it was blended and back with the tank fermented components. 
• Pungent tropical fruit flavours of ripe figs, Cape gooseberry and passion fruit, supported by a fresh crispness along with a mineral character and a complex, long fruity finish on the palate.
• Enjoy with delicate seafood dishes like grilled calamari, with pesto cream.
