"Andrew Gunn's Sauvignon is smoky, tangy and flinty unfurling flavours of cucumber, lemongrass and grapefruit on the palate. Pithy and long. Drink 2014 - 2018." S.Africa Report 2014 |
Description:
"Fragrance of pure white grapefruit, intense tropical fruit, ripe gooseberry and fleshy kiwi fruit over-lay Iona's distinctive herbal and floral undertones. The palate is keenly balanced showing cut green apples and lime marmalade followed by great minerality and length." Winery Tasting Notes
About Iona
Iona is the coolest vineyard in the Cape, 420m above sea-level, high above the picturesque Elgin Valley. An extremely long growing season, harvesting up to 2 months after Stellenbosch, results in diverse, complex flavours and uniquely fresh and elegant wines. Long renowned for their Sauvignon blanc, their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay; recently awarded 5 stars in Platter, are also very fine.
Viticulure
Each soil type and aspect of the Sauvignon blanc vineyards are matched with different clone to ensure we capture the endless flavours of the variety in the vineyards. These are retained in the cellar, with each block being vinified separately. The harvest of the Sauvignon blanc stretched from middle March to early April which provides a perfect long ripening period to develop the intense concentrated flavours. An important component is the addition of 4% Semillon which enhances the mid- palate weight and complexity of the wine. Stirring of the lees brings that unmistakable Iona texture.
In The News:
"Iona has one of the coolest vineyard sites in South Africa, with vines 450 meters above sea level. This climatic freshness is evident in the wine, imparting a refreshing tangy character. Some citrus and lemon notes add to its complexity. Perfect with sushi." Will Lyons, Wall Street Journal. September 2014.
