Winemakers from South Africa’s premier cool-climate winemaking region of Durbanville will unveil the latest vintage of its collaborative Sauvignon Blanc within days – and it’s a keeper!
As with its previous two iterations, the 2024 Durbanville Sauvignon Blanc pooled the champion talents of the region’s renowned wine growers and winemakers. As such, it has become a South African super Sauvignon Blanc with the 2024 release raising the bar yet again.
Its first big public showing will be at the Durbanville Sauvignon Soirée on May 3 – appropriately, when the world celebrates International Sauvignon Blanc Day.
The responsibility of making up the final blend revolves between contributors with Diemersdal – one of the country’s most innovative and awarded Sauvignon Blanc makers – taking over from predecessor De Grendel.
Fruit was received from Diemersdal and De Grendel as well as Bloemendal, D’Aria, Durbanville Hills, Groot Phesantekraal, Klein Roosboom, Maastricht, Meerendal and Nitida.
The collaborative project was inspired from decades of consistent recognition for the Durbanville Wine Valley’s excellence.
