Description

Sitting at 450 metres above the Atlantic Ocean, the vineyards for the Iona Sauvignon enjoy some of the coolest spots on the Cape. A dash of Semillon plus a gentle touch of barrel ageing delivers an aromatic yet round and full Sauvignon. It’s very much a hands off approach at Iona, practising organic and biodynamic farming.

The wine is brimming with bright tropical, stone fruit and herbal notes followed by a long and elegant finish on the palate. Super fresh and super tasty!

ProducerProfile

At 420m above sea-level, set high above the picturesque Elgin Valley Andrew Gunn founded Iona. It is here overlooking the Atlantic ocean that he has secured some of the coolest vineyards in the Cape. In a country where cool climate vineyards are like gold dust, these vineyards are veritable nuggets. There is an extremely long growing season, allowing Andrew to create wines with complex flavours and a fresh, elegant style. The approach is hands off and the land is farmed according to organic and biodynamic practices with a particular focus on ensuring the health of the soils whilst pests are kept under control by the resident flock of geese that roam the vineyards.
