A beautiful and full-bodied Sauvignon Blanc from the Stellenbosch region. In South Africa, this grape variety can ripen and develop its qualities in peace. It enjoys ample sunshine and the accompanying warmth, giving it a more powerful character than you'd normally expect from this white wine. It's delicious on its own but also makes an excellent pairing with fish dishes.

Slow maturation process for Sauvignon Blanc

The vineyards where the Sauvignon Blanc is grown are located in the cool Schapenberg district, on the outskirts of Stellenbosch and close to the coast. This location is considerably cooler than the rest of Stellenbosch. Thanks to the cooler climate, the vineyards ripen more slowly, resulting in a natural concentration of flavors. The wines from this region all have a long, distinctive finish. This wine is named after the colorful peacocks that can be found around the vineyards. The grapes are tasted regularly throughout the season to determine when they have reached their ideal ripeness. At peak ripeness, the grapes are harvested by hand and pressed whole bunches. Only the finest juice is selected from the press, which then flows into the tank via gravity. The juice is then fermented with wild yeasts, allowing the flavors of the vineyard to be expressed in the wine. This fermentation lasts over two months and then remains on the lees for at least another two months before bottling.

The aroma and flavours of Peacock Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc

This beautiful Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc sparkles in the glass with its greenish-yellow color. The aroma reveals citrus notes, gooseberries, and pear. It has a fresh character with elegant acidity. The citrus notes resonate on the palate, and it concludes with a long, pleasant finish. A wine that can be enjoyed on its own, but also pairs wonderfully with fish dishes like grilled shrimp!
