Vintage: This wine is from our special vineyard on the Southernmost Slopes of the Elim Wine Ward. Surrounded by local Elim fynbos, this vineyard is known for frequent encounters with “Pofadder” snakes, hence the name Pofadder Bos Sauvignon Blanc. The unique Strandveld terroir is well-expressed in this vineyard growing in almost 100 % fellow ferricrete soil. The modest crop (4.5 t/ha) ripens slowly in our cool climate, without the loss of flavours.
