John Platter 5 * 2012

Decanter Trophy 2011

Stellenbosch Region

A wine with a balance of tropical green pea and fig flavours backed with full floral herbaceous undertones on the palate. This full bodied Sauvignon Blanc shows a good balance of the characteristics of the five different terroirs.  The grapes for this wine were grown in five different terroirs. 30% come from Stellenbosch, 30% from Durbanville, 30% from Darling, 5% from Elim and 5% from the West Coast. Only the best bunches from the various blocks from vineyards, not further than 10 kilometers from the sea, were harvested separately at night to ensure optimal freshness. A combination of Scali, strong clay and sandy soils resulted in berries with green fig, pea and asparagus flavours.

The wine can well age for another 3 years.
