VINTAGE: This wine was made from a vineyard on the southernmost slopes of the Elim wine ward. We call this specific vineyard “Pofadder Bos Sauvignon Blanc” due to frequent encounters with these snakes in the surrounding fynbos. The soil is almost 100 % yellow ferricrete which helps add to the unique terroir of this vineyard. The grapes were handpicked at optimum ripeness on the 13th of February 2007.
