Winemaker and winery: Johan Kruger, Sterhuis.
Grape variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
Region: Bottelary Hills, Stellenbosch, Western Cape.
Viticulture/Vinification: Blessed with altitude, winemaker and owner Johan Kruger, produces wines that are naturally lower in alcohol and therefore more delicate and elegant. Johan had no formal training as winemaker, but after several harvests around the world he decided to start his own winery on the family farm located on the Bottelary Hills. All grapes are whole bunch pressed before fermentation takes place.

A little ripe pineapple on the nose. Vibrant, pithy and exciting. Like it.
