PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

The focus of the Drift Estate, with winemaker Bruce Jack at the helm, is to craft unique, intriguing, and unusually delicious wine from a small, distinct corner of the universe. The Berrio vineyards near the southernmost tip of Africa, deliver exactly this. The Berrio Sauvignon Blanc 2021 displays pear, lime, fynbos, and fennel while the palate shows pure fruit and racy acidity, the finish possessing that slightly salty quality so typical of the area. It’s got nice palate weight given a relatively low alcohol of 13% and Jack explains that this comes from 24 hours skin contact before fermentation, 10% fermentation on the skins and seven months on the gross lees. A white wine of unusual precision - not too severe, not too funky.
