Spice Route The Amos Block Perpetual Reserve

This sherry-style wine is made from exceptionally unique Sauvignon Blanc bush vines planted in 1965, making the vineyard the oldest Sauvignon Blanc block in South Africa. The historic vineyard is dryland, and farmed without irrigation.

Each year, we pick the fruit at low sugar between 18,5 to 20 degree balling. The juice is allowed to ferment naturally in very old French barrels. Once fermentation is completed, we fortify the wine to 15% alcohol and add the flor yeast culture. The first bottling is a solera (small amounts of younger wines are stored in an upper tier of comprising of barrels) of three vintages, 2014 to 2016 vintage
