It was inspired by Pascal Jolivet and his holistic approach to winemaking in Sancerre. Using a unique and minimalistic approach to winemaking, we are able to make a wine that shows the true expression of the Constantia terroir. The name Metis refers to the collaboration between the two producers to craft this great wine. This fusion of philosophies is reflected in the flower on the label that is a hybrid of the South African Protea and French Iris

WINE RECORD
A pure Sauvignon Blanc that reflects a sense of place rather than technique. Grapes were hand-harvested from 4:00 am from six high-lying blocks capable of withstanding the wine’s minimal-intervention style. The blocks are farmed biodynamically, organically, and sustainably. No sulphur was added at crush; fermentation was spontaneous (wild yeast). The wine matured on the lees for 12 months in a combination of stainless steel tanks and 20% neutral oak barrels.
