Stellar White 2020 - Bottle 75cl or Case of 6
Western Cape, South Africa
ABV: 11.5%
Grape Varieties: Colombard
This limited release Stellar Organics wine does it all: No Added Sulphur, organic, fair trade and vegan friendly, but it’s more than just a box-ticker. This 100% Colombard (similar in style to Sauvignon Blanc) is only made in the best vintages (so get it while you can!) and shows a lovely wild flower and honey nose and real tangy freshness on the finish. It has a deeper colour than one would expect in such a young wine, which is because sulphur has a bleaching effect on the colour of ‘normal’ wines.
87 Points – The Wine Gang, ‘From one of the world’s biggest producers of no added sulphur wines, this Colombard coudn’t be more right-on if it came wearing sandals and a hipster beard: organic, fair trade and vegan friendly too. High with floral notes, some herbal character and very punchy on the aromatics, the palate is cool and clear, with a zippy acidity, in a Sauvignon Blanc lovers style. Nothing left-field about the stuff in the bottle.‘ August 2016 (2015 vintage)

About The Estate
The company is a joint venture created by the Roussouw brothers in 2000 between four farmers and the winemaking cellar, which now has the capacity to handle 900 tonnes of organic grapes from these independent farms straddling the northern boundary of the Olifants river wine region and Namaqualand. Working closely with the farmers, winemaker Klaas Coetzee, produces a excellent range of wines with great consistency and no small amount of individual flair. The coastal location of their vineyards contributes to the unique characteristics of their wines. Unlike other wineries in the Olifants River region, these vineyards are located closer to the Atlantic Ocean, and are constantly cooled by the sea breeze giving a lovely freshness to the wines.
There is very little light pollution in this area, allowing excellent views of the magnificent cosmic displays in the night sky which give the winery its name.
Stellar have been pioneers in ethical practices: workers on the farms and in the winery, including seasonal workers, own 26% of the enterprise through shares in the Stellar Empowerment Trust.
