A typical Sauvignon blanc with all the characteristics of the cultivar: grass, green peppers, fig leaves, dusty roads and crushed citrus leaves. The vineyard location and cool growing conditions allowed Steller Organics to ripen the Sauvignon without losing these important style markers. The ripeness adds a touch of tropical fruit, firms the mouth feel and lengthens the palate. This wine exhibits a refreshing tartness and a strong Sauvignon flavour. (12 x 75 cl)

Stellar Winery FAIRTRADE Organic Chenin Blanc/Sauvignon Blanc RSA
Description: The two components of this wine were aged separately on their lees before being blended together and given a short time with French Oak. The result is a pale coloured wine with a tint of yellow. Showing a hint of tinned peaches with light oak on the nose and aftertaste, this is a lightly structured, well-balanced, smooth tasting wine. Stellar Winery is situated 275 km north of Cape Town on the road to Namibia. The winery makes use of a semi-arid climate, unrivalled refrigeration capacity and extensive in-house engineering skills to produce modern, Fairtrade organic wines. Stellar Winery was the first organic vineyard and cellar operation to receive the highly sought after Fairtrade accreditation. Fairtrade companies undertake to empower economically disadvantaged workers and ensure that a fair price is paid for the product along the whole supply chain. Stellar Winery undertakes a big commitment with both farm and cellar staff transported to and from work, while families receive health care and the permanent services of a community worker. Workers receive free housing, electricity and water as well as subsidised schooling and child-care facilities. Finally, a percentage of the wholesale price of the wine is paid directly back to the Stellar Fairtrade Workers' Trust. The wine is made in the sparsely populated Namaqualand region and does not suffer the light pollution that plagues urban areas around the world. The dark nights and clean air result in a breathtaking cosmic display with the aptly-named Milky Way at its centre and the producer pays homage to this phenomenon with the Stellar Range. The wines are assembled from different farms, ferments and yeasts. Each wine in the blend starts with deep colour and ripe fruit and tannins. Individual nuances arise from organic agriculture, saline irrigation water, cooling afternoon winds, wild ferments and other still-to-be-discovered influences. Lightly wooded for structure rather than flavour, these wines offer a tasting experience that will provide a convincing argument for the ascendancy of organic over conventional wines. (12 x 75 cl)

Catherine Marshall Wines BWC Sauvignon Blanc Stellenbosch RSA
Description: Lively, vivid lime zest expression with a full ripe mid-palate of passion fruit, mango and a long citrus length. In 1996, Cathy Marshall decided to have a braai for her friends. The party turned into something of a breakthrough evening when they decided to crush some grapes that she had bought, barefooted in her garage. Nine months later the original party gathered again to bottle the wine by hand. Barefoot is now known as BMC wines, and by 1998 Cathy was handling 16 tonnes of grapes rather than the original one tonne. However, the annual harvest ritual of the 'footstomp bash' continues, but the wine is now made in the 'high tech' wineries of Amani and Yonder Hill. The company does not own vineyards, but sources the grapes from some of the best vineyards to make top quality wines. This is in the tradition of the French 'negociants' -- with a South African flavour. BMC wines are terrific to drink and the bottles provide a classic backdrop to any table with the disctinctive and stylish label, a unique collaboration with artist Hannetjie de Clercq. The Grapes originate from organically managed vineyard and the harvest provided a nice spectrum of flavours, although the bunches were small they were very juicy. After pressing and fermentation the wine enjoyed contact on the lees for four months after which a light filtration was done at bottling. (6 x 75 cl)
