2020 ‘Pincushion’ Sauvignon Blanc, Lomond Wines

Western Cape, South AfricaVintage: 2020

This highly awarded and renowned single vineyard Sauvignon Blanc has intense notes of passionfruit layered with citrus nuances and the distinctive oyster shell minerality that comes from the Cape Agulhas vineyards.

The Lomond estate is surrounded by indigenous flora known as Fynbos. This single-vineyard wine is named after a vulnerable listed species endemic to the Agulhas Region, ‘Leucospermum Patersonii’ or the ‘Silver-Edged Pincushion’.

Description

In 1999, Geoff McIver established the Lomond estate, which is situated on the Agulhas Plain near the southernmost tip of Africa at Cape Agulhas – the confluence of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans- eight kilometres from the fishing village of Gansbaai and within sight of the sea. The estate takes its name from the Ben Lomond Mountain in the Uilenkraal Valley.

Award-winning winemaker Hannes Meyer joined the team and skillfully crafts a portfolio of stunning wines from this top wine-growing region, some of which are named after the indigenous flora, known as ‘Fynbos’. The vines are planted on as many as 18 different soil types, which appear naturally in small pockets along the slopes and produce intriguingly complex wines, with flavour profiles that differ significantly from one block to the next. The terroir, climate and location of Lomond combine to create superb single-vineyard wines. The vineyard is sustainably cultivated; Lomond is a member of South Africa’s Integrated Production of Wine (IPW), Wine & Agricultural Ethical Trade Association (WIETA) and the Walker Bay Fynbos Conservancy.

The grapes were harvested by hand at 22.5˚ to 24.5˚ Balling, when they had reached phenolic ripeness and were vinified reductively, which reduces the amount of oxygen the fruit has exposure to and helps to preserve fresh, fruity and vibrant notes. The juice was cool fermented at 13˚to 15˚C to preserve the natural Sauvignon Blanc flavours. The wine was left on the lees for eight weeks to impart texture and complexity.
