Isliedh //​ Cape Point

Isliedh is a remarkable combination of Cape coastal Sauvignon Blanc drenched in richly textured Semillon. The blend offers beautiful floral notes of white orchid, rose and peach blossom. The fruit leaps from the glass unveiling a harmonious blend of white fruits, ripe nectarine, pink grapefruit, figs and lemon curd. Hints of floral oak spice combined with fresh thyme gives the wine an extra layer of depth. The palate is rich, saline, full and textured with the classic long lasting mineral finish.

Vineyard

The Sauvignon Blanc is hand-picked from a single parcel facing the toughest conditions on the sea-facing farm; steep slopes, severe coastal winds and rocky, decomposed granite soils result in tiny bunches packed with complexity.

Winemaking

Whole bunch press with no skin contact;  allowed to settle for 8 hours.​ Sauvignon Blanc is barrel fermented in French oak. The Semillon is fermented in clay amphora pots in order to show the mineral qualities in this wine. Ten months on gross lees in French oak barrels followed by 5 months in stainless steel on fine lees.
