Wine Makers Notes
| Winemaker | Francois Haasbroek |
|---|---|
| The Vintage | The Elgin Sauvignon blanc was spared the onslaught of wind and the harvest was spread over four weeks affording us the luxury of picking full ripe Sauvignon blanc, toned down acid levels and lovely ripe fig and melon flavors with the expected chalk character of Elgin for restraint. |
| The Vineyard | From the cooler climate of Elgin |
