<p>Iona Sauvignon Blanc is a lovely, balanced white showing notes of fresh green apples, lime marmalade and intense tropical fruits. It has all the distinctive characteristics of great Sauvignon like grapefruit and gooseberry, as well as a distinctive herbal and floral undertone which sets wines from this region apart from others. 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.Iona Sauvignon Blanc, Elgin Highlands 2024</p>
