Soutbosch | Indigo Selection

The salt of the earth range, a collaboration between our producers and Ben, Jamie Goode and Daniel Primack, centres around saline, mineral white wines that put characters other than fruit at the forefront, and Soutbosch more than delivers on that. From a single, dry-farmed old vineyard near False Bay and beneath the Helderberg Mountain, Bernhard was incredibly excited by the potential of the site and suggested it could work as a collaborative project. It’s a unique wine, literally, as the vines were sadly dug out after this vintage.
