The Producer
Part of the XCellar Standard Range — wines sourced from established, award-winning Stellenbosch estates and bottled exclusively for Vinty. We work directly with our partner cellars to select wines that deliver genuine quality at prices that make everyday drinking a pleasure. The identity of the producer stays under wraps, but the quality speaks for itself.
Vintage & Terroir
Sourced from selected vineyards in the prime wine-growing area near Stellenbosch, where well-drained soils, moderate temperatures and maritime influence create ideal conditions for Sauvignon Blanc. The 2025 vintage delivered grapes with vibrant natural acidity and expressive aromatic potential — exactly what you want from this variety.
In the Cellar
The grapes were hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, then destalked and crushed. The mash was immediately cooled to 10°C and given 24 hours of skin contact to extract maximum flavour and aromatic complexity. Fermentation took place at a carefully controlled 14–16°C to preserve the wine’s bright fruit character, after which it was left on its lees for as long as possible to build texture and mouthfeel. Protein and tartrate stabilisation were completed before bottling.
Tasting Notes
This is a full, dry Sauvignon Blanc with beautifully balanced acidity. The nose opens with tropical fruit — think guava and passionfruit — layered with a distinctive flinty minerality, then hints of asparagus and fresh fig. All of that follows through onto the palate, where crisp acid and generous fruit weight combine for a long, satisfying finish. This is textured, serious Sauvignon Blanc that drinks well above its price point.
Food Pairing
A natural partner for fresh seafood — think tempura prawns, grilled line fish with lemon butter, or Cape Malay pickled fish. Equally brilliant alongside a goat’s cheese salad, green asparagus risotto, or sushi. Serve well chilled at 8–10°C.
