Iona Sauvignon Blanc
Type: White Wine
Grape(s): Sauvignon Blanc 96% & Sémillon 4%
Wine Region: Elgin, South Africa
Tasting Note: Beautiful purity of limes and ripe gooseberry, with tropical, floral and fine herbal notes, ruby grapefruit and white pear drop on the finish. This is cool climate Sauvignon Blanc – vibrant, mineral, elegant, balanced and delicate, with a long, layered and complex finish.
The wine was aged on gross lees for 5 months, with regular stirring to enhance mid-palate richness. The Sémillon fermented naturally in 2nd and 3rd fill 500L French oak barrels for added complexity, while 4% of the blend came from barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc.
Tim Atkin South Africa Report 2024 91 Points
Iona's spectacularly sited parcels are some of the highest and most dramatic in Elgin, producing a quintessential cool climate Sauvignon Blanc. Perfumed, salty and stony, this has layers of lime and grapefruit, a touch of vanilla and a briney finish. 2024-27. 91 Points, TA, 2024.
Suggested food and wine pairing: Fresh asparagus, chicken and seafood dishes but is also enjoyable by itself.
