ABOUT THIS WINE:
Mulderbosch
Sauvignon Blanc
Since its maiden vintage in 1992, Mulderbosch Sauvignon Blanc has consistently been held in the highest esteem by wine critics worldwide. It has cemented itself as a benchmark for New World Sauvignon Blanc and is subsequently celebrated for its longevity, finesse, and true varietal expression. Given the warm and dry conditions leading up to the 2018 harvest, every effort was made to ensure the grapes for our Sauvignon Blanc were harvested early in order to preserve what natural acidity there was in the grapes. Even so, the 2018 vintage is a ripe styled Sauvignon Blanc with plenty of tropical fruit on the nose and a palate with pronounced green fig flavors.

Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is the heart and soul of South African wine, as important to the country's winemaking prestige as Napa is to the United States or Bordeaux to France. This beautiful region comprises seven sub-regions, all centered around the leafy university town of Stellenbosch. Winemaking here is influenced by the cooling sea breezes that sweep in off False Bay, and the crumbly, mineral-rich granite soils. While perhaps most famous for its beloved Pinotage, Stellenbosch also offers a diverse range of varietals, such as its impeccable Bordeaux blends, fragrant Syrah, crisp Chenin Blanc and outstanding Chardonnay.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Mulderbosch
When Mulderbosch founder, Larry Jacobs, bought the farm in 1989, the community referred to the property as “vuilplasie,” Afrikaans for “dirty little farm.” A (small) cellar was later built, and the first set of wines were released: Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. The dream was to produce wine, but certainly not just any wine; they had to consistently reflect innovation, creativity, and excellence. Soon, Mulderbosch gained international traction with a growing list of accolades and awards. As an innovator, Mulderbosch was the first producer in the country to successfully create a barrel-fermented style of Chenin Blanc, and so the ‘Steen Op Hout’ label was born. Trailblazing, the infant rosé category with their Rosé of Cabernet Sauvignon, continued this thread of innovation. Today, Mulderbosch has achieved commercial success worldwide and has affirmed their identity as a producer of distinctive wines, representative of the soils and climate in which their grapes are grown.
