MEVO08W - Viognier

Viognier

Name: La Barry Sauvignon Blanc

Vintage Year: 2019

Rating Vivino: 3.7

Type: White Wine

Grape Type:  Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes: The “La Barry” has delicate elderflower fruit with underlying grassier tones, but is unthreatening enough to keep coming back for another glass. Long lasting and substantial on the palate, it is not just a pool wine but pairs well with food. As it ages mineral and flinty flavours come to the fore, so don’t drink all of it too young

Story of Wine: Pristine fruit from our Elgin vineyards was transported in a refrigerated truck to our winery and every measure imaginable was employed to ensure minimal oxidation and in doing so ensure purity of fruit flavours. About one quarter of the grapes were given 24 hours’ skin contact, a portion crushed and pressed immediately and a small batch was whole-bunch pressed. The juice was tank fermented in two lots by different yeasts to develop ‘typically’ Sauvignon-fruit flavours. As passionate as we are about Sauvignon Blanc, experience has taught us that despite natural fermentations producing complex and interesting wines, this is not always beneficial to Sauvignon Blanc. Lees contact of eight months after fermentation ensures richness and texture on the midpalate. The wine was bottled in December 2018

Pairing: Perfect as aperitif, or match with delicate dishes like fresh seafood salads, oysters and even tuna tartare with a very subtle wasabi sauce.

CWSB04W - Nguni Sauvignon Blanc

Nguni Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Sauvignon Blanc

Vintage: 2021

Rating Vivino; 3.6

Type: White

Grape: Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes: Lovely juicy, tropcial fruits such as passion fruit, and litchies dance on the palate with a lovely saline undertones from the mineral soils in which it is grown

Story of Wine: Making Sauvignon Blanc one is often faced with the temptation of making something frivolous , upfront and flirty which results in very upfront wines that lack a sense of place. With Baleia, we have chosen to take the road less traveled by choosing texture and minerality from the site to portray the beauty of the terroir.
