Simonsig Sunbird Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Regular price:
€11.50
High-altitude vineyards and the cooling sea breeze from False Bay create ideal conditions in Stellenbosch for the Simonsig Sunbird Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes for this single-varietal white wine benefit from the comparatively cool growing conditions in the estate’s highest-altitude vineyards. Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, it expresses the fresh, aromatic character of the grape variety with a distinctly South African flair.To preserve the variety’s typical aromas and natural freshness, the grapes are harvested in the cool early morning hours and processed as reductively as possible throughout the winemaking process. For selected batches, a limited maceration period is used to enhance fruit intensity without compromising acidity. After gentle pressing and careful pre-clarification, the must ferments slowly with selected yeasts under temperature-controlled conditions at 12–14 °C.The nose reveals a fruity bouquet of guava, melon, and Cape gooseberries. On the palate, delicate notes of fig and grapefruit complement the juicy fruit profile. The lively acidity lends the Sauvignon Blanc an invigorating freshness and leads to a harmonious, balanced finish.Whether as an aperitif on warm days or as a pairing with a meal—this Sauvignon Blanc is incredibly versatile. It pairs particularly well with fresh salads, goat cheese, and fish dishes with lemon. Its fresh acidity also creates an appealing contrast with aromatic Thai dishes as well as heartier meals. Best served at 8–10 °C.
