Idun Cabriole Sauvignon Blanc 2023
South AfricaIdun is a small, boutique winery run by the French-Danish Rousset family that resettled in the cool climate Elgin Valley. Idun is the Norse goddess of eternal life, fertility, and apples, which is fitting since Elgin has been long valued for its apple orchards. This Botrivier sauvignon blanc is rooted in the cool climate region's sandstone soils. After a while bunch press and 10 hours' settling, this was fermented in a mix of stainless and older French barrels, blended after 8 months. Punchy and herbaceous, with lemon verbena, white grapefruit, passionfruit, and green hedge filling a juicy core, scented with white pepper. Very much in the zesty Kiwi style, with a fine slick of lees for food friendliness. 4440 bottles.Tasted: 19 November 2025Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $27.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
