Storm Wines Wild Air Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Storm Wines Wild Air Sauvignon Blanc 2022 is a sophisticated white wine from the coastal region of Hemel-en-Aarde in South Africa, famous for its cool climate wines. Storm Wines, a small winery led by winemaker Hannes Storm, is known for producing small batches of handcrafted wines that emphasize quality and terroir.

The unique Wild Air Sauvignon Blanc is characterized by its clear and precise style. The grapes are grown in cool conditions, resulting in a fresh and lively acidity. The wine is fermented and aged in neutral oak barrels, which adds texture and depth without overshadowing the natural flavors of the grape.

Wild Air Sauvignon Blanc 2022 offers delicate aromas of citrus fruits such as lime and lemon, complemented by subtle notes of green apples, gooseberries and white flowers. A mineral undertone highlights the wine's cool climate origins, while a slight herbal note adds complexity, typical of Sauvignon Blanc.

The palate is fresh and crisp, with a harmonious balance between ripe fruit and lively acidity. The wine has an elegant structure, where citrus and green fruit notes combine with a slightly chalky minerality. The finish is clean and persistent, with a subtle complexity from the barrel aging that adds depth without dominating.

This Sauvignon Blanc 2022 is an ideal companion to seafood, fresh fish, salads and light vegetarian dishes, but can also be enjoyed on its own as a refreshing aperitif. With its pure style and refined expression, it demonstrates South Africa's ability to produce world-class Sauvignon Blanc.
