Hazendal Bottelary Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Hazendal Bottelary Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2025 is a refined expression of the Bottelary Hills in Stellenbosch, crafted by winemaker Kiara Scott Farmer. Sourced from vineyards that benefit from cooling maritime influences and diverse granite soils, this Sauvignon Blanc balances vibrant fruit with striking minerality and elegant structure. The 2025 vintage reflects a cool growing season, producing a wine of remarkable freshness, precision, and purity.

Unlike overtly tropical styles, this Sauvignon Blanc embraces restraint and finesse. Aromas of clementine, citron, crushed lime, and flinty minerality lead into a palate driven by crisp acidity, a subtle stone fruit core, and a lingering mineral finish. Bright, energetic, and beautifully balanced, it is a modern South African Sauvignon Blanc that captures the unique character of the Bottelary Hills.
