Elgin Ridge Sauvignon Blanc

Organic!
Marion and Brian Smith sold their business in the UK and after scouring the wine regions of Europe for the perfect place to buy a property, ended up finding it here in Elgin.
Their small farm is planted to Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Chardonnay, Pinot
Noir… and some apples.
Their intention is to keep things small and focused at Elgin Ridge, using no chemicals and letting the ducks (which they hatch on the farm, and hence feature in their label) play a prominent role in pest control.
Organic certification is on the cards later this year too.
The Elgin Valley is one the South Africa’s ideal wine-growing regions for many
reasons: A unique confluence of diverse micro-climates with close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean; cooling cloud cover and high altitude and cold winters and adequate rainfall with complex, ancient soils. Grapes in Elgin take longer to ripen, which means the wines get good natural acidity and perfectly balanced ripe flavours.
Very dry Sauvignon, crisp, clean and fresh, with that trademark Elgin minerality.
