Eden Crest Sauvignon Blanc

2005 Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc

Eden Crest Sauvignon Blanc from the renowned Stellenbosch region is a captivating expression of this varietal. This vintage showcases a beautifully light body that invites easy sipping while maintaining a delightful freshness. The acidity is bright and lively, lending a mouthwatering quality that perfectly complements its vibrant fruitiness. Expect prominent notes of citrus and green apple, which are balanced by subtle floral undertones. The wine is bone dry, allowing the pure essence of the Sauvignon Blanc grape to shine through without any interference from sweetness. This sophisticated white is not only a testament to the meticulous winemaking practices found in Stellenbosch, but also a perfect choice for any occasion that calls for an elegant yet approachable wine experience.

Region:


Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch is the heart and soul of South African wine, as important to the country's winemaking prestige as Napa is to the United States or Bordeaux to France. This beautiful region comprises seven sub-regions, all centered around the leafy university town of Stellenbosch. Winemaking here is influenced by the cooling sea breezes that sweep in off False Bay, and the crumbly, mineral-rich granite soils. While perhaps most famous for its beloved Pinotage, Stellenbosch also offers a diverse range of varietals, such as its impeccable Bordeaux blends, fragrant Syrah, crisp Chenin Blanc and outstanding Chardonnay.
