Rickety Bridge Sauvignon Blanc

Diemersdal’s reputation for pushing the boundaries with Sauvignon Blanc is expressed in this innovative wine style. After harvest, the juice for this wine was frozen at -20 degrees celsius and kept in this state for five months. It was then thawed and fermented in the heart of the Cape winter, producing a uniquely tropical style of Sauvignon blanc totally unique for South Africa.

The most versatile wine when it comes to food pairings. From salads to seafood and peas to pavlovas. Cheeses that pair well with this wine are Fontina, Brie, Swiss, Feta, Gouda, and Gruyère, and add fresh herb Hummus with spring vegetables to make a perfect platter.

The Franschhoek Sauvignon Blanc component adds some notes of tropical fruit, blackcurrant, and lime. The Walker Bay component adds minerality, flintiness and great acid balance. To round it off the Franschhoek Semillon adds fullness and waxiness on the pallet.

This wine requires no intelligence to drink. Perfect for pool parties and your 1000 closest friends. The centre of attention and often found on the backseat of cars, you won’t believe the bottle is finished and will have to reach for another. A very smooth and fruity wine that doesn’t want to mess with you, with no acidic heartburn or overt greenness after a few glasses.
