This wine has a beautiful bouquet of green apple, peach and tropical fruits with a complex and concentrated palate. There is an element of minerality balanced with elegant acidity. The flavors of pear, white peach and grapefruit that linger on the tongue will have you coming back for more. Serving temperature of 10-12°C/50°F. Seven Springs Sauvignon Blanc can be enjoyed on its own but is even better with food. Our recommended pairing is with aromatic foods such as Thai curry, seafood with a tomato based sauce.

Following three years of drought, the vines had a tough year resulting in smaller yields. Not only did it remain windy from October through to January, there was very little rain during the growing season so we had to irrigate twice; once after berry-set (mid October) and then again after veraison (end of December). Canopies were also left denser in order to maximize photosynthesis and to protect the smaller bunches from direct sunlight. Berry skins were generally thicker with less pulp ratio resulting in more structured wines and reduced volumes.
