Description

WINE DESCRIPTION
A fine mousse with delicate yeasty notes. The wine is layered with lemon,
lime, and green apples with a creamy complexity.

VINEYARDS
The grapes were harvested from dryland Bushvine vineyards. The soils are
medium yellow, non-arid sandy soils with 60% red laterite dominating the
subsurface soil.

VINTAGE CONDITIONS
Even budburst and cooler summer conditions gave the 2019 season a
slower start to the ripening period. Grapes reached phenolic ripeness with
good acidity and lower pH levels. The season was characterised by healthy,
full-Favoured grapes.

OUR STORY Travelling through the Swartland on the back of a truck, heading towards an auction, a Nguni cow knew a beautiful vineyard when she saw one and jumped off. She was appropriately named SURVIVOR when the grower found her grazing in his vineyard. Like her, our wines start with a leap in the vineyard and in true Nguni spirit our grapes are now sourced not only from the Swartland, but also the Elgin Valley, Stellenbosch, Darling, Tradouw and Hemel-en-Aarde, to compose the unique complexity and diversity of the wines in the SURVIVOR Range. Our winemaker intensely debated which regions possessed the perfect balance of rainfall, clay, shale and granite content, so that opening a bottle of SURVIVOR allows you to experience the essence of these terroirs. SURVIVOR Wines are as distinctly South African as the Nguni cow that inspired them.
