CAPE JAFFA
Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2010
MOUNT BENSON

The Cape Jaffa range showcases Mount Benson's qualities as a premium wine growing region, with fruit source predominantly from our biodynamic vineyards at Cape Jaffa.

Our now fully certified biodynamic Cape Jaffa Semillon Sauvignon Blanc comes from low yielding vines hand-pruned and carefully managed using biodynamic techniques.  2010 was a vintage of early ripening and mild temperatures leading up to harvest, providing ideal growing conditions for our whites.  A hands-on and gentle winemaking process has preserved the exceptional fruit characters from our vineyards in this vintage’s semillon sauvignon blanc. The winemaking was undertaken with a focus on minimal intervention, allowing great regionality and varietal expression.

The aroma of this elegant, dry white offers a distinctly regional lemon-and-lime bouquet with hints of grassiness, while the palate exhibits exhibits great length and a clean, fresh minerally finish.
