This wine is blended from a handful of the top performing blocks on this property each chosen for their exquisite flavour and aromatic profile. The vines cropped between 7 to 9 tons a hectare. Once they had reached optimum flavour ripeness, the grapes were hand-picked at dawn, ideally at sugars between 21.5 and 22.5 degrees brix and acidities of between 6.5 g\/l to 9.5 g\/l. Whole bunches were cooled in a cold room before being transported in a closed truck to our winery on The Helshoogte Pass in Stellenbosch. Immediately upon arrival the grapes were destemmed, crushed and cold pressed in our inert press (zero air). The press juice and free run juice were kept separate and settled overnight, followed by racking off the next day. Only the free run juice from the best blocks is used for the Reserve Collection Sauvignon blanc. The juice was fermented at 15 degrees Celsius in stainless steel tanks with selected wine yeast. 9% of this blend is made up of wine fermented in 400L 3rd fill barrels and matured there for 5 months. After fermentation the wine was sulphured and left on the lees for five months with regular lees stirring before stabilization, filtration and bottling. 49,540 bottles were produced. The wine displays a stunning light straw colour with a brilliant green edge. The nose opens with aromas of Passion Fruit, Caped Gooseberry, lemongrass and a signature wisp of Blackcurrant leaf. There is an amazing freshness as the wine enters the palate, with flavours aligning with the aromas and leading to a textured mid-palate and a lingering saline finish.

Positioned in the Hemel-en-Aarde winelands, it is considered to be one of the best wine farms to find good, strong wines that have a touch of class. The vineyard is not a new acquisition, being purchased in 1975, but quota laws limited the amount of wine that the Hamilton Russell Vineyards could produce. The land was purchased after a desperate search for a vineyard which was built on the southern region of South Africa, and was designed to accommodate a number of European vines that prefer to have a cold climate. The Hamilton Russell Vineyards farm suited the demands of the vines, and Tim Hamilton Russell bought 170 hectares of land in order to ensure that the varieties were able to thrive, and as much wine as possible could be grown. This desire was passed down to his son, Anthony, who took over and then bought the farm in the early 1990s. The son reduced the number of wine varieties that the estate was growing, choosing only Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as the base wines for his production. He also purchased a license for Hamilton Russell Vineyards to practice as an estate, meaning that he could not use any grapes that had been produced anywhere but on his own land. By committing himself to work only with grapes that could be produced on the terroir, Anthony Hamilton Russell had taken on a tough task. The estate owner decided that the vines would only be planted in this ideal soil. The vines planted are not the most vigorous, so there is only a small yield each year, but there is a big demand, both in the domestic arena and overseas, that keen this small South African producer in short supply.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Givino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49109715550538,"sku":"6002525000200","price":13.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/4747\/8602\/files\/original_2a618138-a2e7-412d-930f-c5b9bf3caff8.jpg?v=1724833103"},{"product_id":"babylonstoren-chardonnay-magnum-2023","title":"Babylonstoren Chardonnay Magnum 2023","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA sophisticated and elegant Chardonnay, Babylonstoren Chardonnay is crafted for special occasions and is presented in a stunning 1.5L magnum format in a beautifully designed wooden Babylon Storn box.

The Dijon clone CY95 vines thrive in this warm Mediterranean climate, which is tempered by the Atlantic Ocean and the nearby Duivenhoks River.
