2020 Cape Moby White Blend

The Walker Bay wine district is unique due to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and this ensures that the climate here is predominantly cool to very cool (cool-climate), allowing the grapes to build a nice balance between ripe fruit and fresh acidity. As with the Creation winery, the wines from this region have an old-world style and the wines are very similar to wines from Burgundy, among others.

The vineyards of Springfontein are located on calcareous soil - Alkaline with a high mineral content. The fermentation ferments in small stainless steel tanks with native yeasts. All four cultivars were vinified separately in stainless steel tanks. Sauvignon blanc, Semillon and Chardonnay grapes were harvested by hand in boxes early in the morning and kept in a cold room overnight. The next morning the grapes were sorted by hand before being destemmed, crushed and gently pressed with minimal skin contact. The pressed juice was clarified for 48 hours before fermentation in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts.

The Springfontein Cape Moby White is a blend of 61% Semillon and 39% Sauvignon Blanc. The Cape Moby White has a clear light yellow color in the glass with accessible, very fruity aromas of lychee, citrus, green apples in the nose. The wine is wonderfully smooth, elegant, refined, juicy, dry, slightly mineral. Perfect as an appetizer or with green salads, oysters and dishes with young goat cheese.
