Oak Valley Fountain of Youth 2022 Sauvignon Blanc IN 1898, SIR ANTONIE VILJOEN,THE FOUNDER OF OAK VALLEY,DISCOVERED A CRYSTAL CLEAR FRESH WATER SPRING ON THE LOWER FOOTHILLS OF THE GROENLANDBERG MOUNTAIN RANGE SOON AFTER HIS PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY. SO GOOD WAS THIS WATER THAT SIR ANTONIE HAD IT PIPED OVER MANY MILES TO HIS HOME AND PROCLAIMED IT THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH. TASTING NOTES On the nose there is abundant lemongrass, blackcurrant, green fig and melon. The palate has great balance of acidity and fruit sweetness with abundant grapefruit, papaya, some mango, and granadilla. WINEMAKING PHILOSOPHY With the cool climate of Elgin resulting in a delayed ripening time, our Sauvignon Blanc is allowed to mature in the vineyard where other warmer regions do not have this luxury. Reductive winemaking with cool fermentation temperatures results in a wine bursting with beautiful depth of fruit.
