From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

The Hedgehog Sauvignon Blanc is a delightful wine known for its vibrant flavors and refreshing character. Produced by Orange River Cellars, a renowned winery, it offers a unique wine experience for Sauvignon Blanc lovers. The wine takes its name from the iconic spiky animal, the hedgehog, which symbolizes its playful and lively qualities. It is a wine both distinctive and refined, with a striking personality that captivates the senses.

The Hedgehog Sauvignon Blanc is made from the eponymous grape variety, Sauvignon Blanc. These grapes thrive in various wine regions around the world and are known for their expressive aromas and crisp acidity. The vines are carefully tended, and the grapes are hand-picked at the optimal point of ripeness. Only the free-run juice is used for this Sauvignon Blanc. The temperature during fermentation is controlled and maintained at around 16 degrees Celsius. This low temperature helps preserve the fruity and aromatic qualities of the Sauvignon Blanc grapes.

When tasting The Hedgehog Sauvignon Blanc, the senses are treated to a bouquet of vibrant citrus fruits, such as lime and grapefruit, interwoven with notes of tropical fruit and fresh herbs. These aromas are beautifully reflected in the palate, which combines lively acidity with fruity notes and an invigorating freshness. The wine has a well-balanced structure and an elegant finish. This wine is incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It's an excellent aperitif to refresh the palate, but also pairs well with a variety of dishes. Think seafood, salads, goat cheese, and light pasta dishes. The fresh and vibrant flavors of The Hedgehog Sauvignon Blanc make for a harmonious pairing with these dishes.
