7 Rows new vintage release of
Snowbush and Ben Nevis
Our goal from the outset for our 7 Rows range remains unchanged; to create South Africa’s finest cool climate wines which are comparable to the best in the world. The pursuit of quality is, by definition, incremental and perpetual. We are delighted to present the new release of the 2024 vintages of 7 Rows Range which expresses the passion, craft and dedication of the team at Lomond.
(On a personal note, we re-tasted this wine last week and I believe that this is the best wine that our cellarmaster, Anné, has made, thus far.)
This iconic Snowbush was last produced in 2021 and prior to that in 2013. This unique wine is a blend of wooded Sauvignon blanc, Semillon & Viognier.
On the nose, the wine is showing complex floral and stone fruit notes with a hint of minerality. On the palate, the wine is soft, rounded and refined with layers of fruit and citrus notes. The presence of the oak supports the wine and adds complexity. The natural fresh acidity of this unique wine from Cape Agulhas adds a great liveliness to this wine.
This complexity and flavours come from very selective sourcing and obsessive attention to detail.
841 bottles made.
This wooded Sauvignon blanc is made from a blend of our two Single Vineyard Sauvignon blanc, Pincushion and Sugarbush.
The grapes underwent a 12-hourt skin contact before being drained and gently pressed. Fermentation was started in stainless steel and after five days was then transferred to barrel to finish fermentation.
This classic Cape Agulhas Sauvignon blanc shows white stone fruit with hints of blackcurrant and minerality. The wine complexity with an explosion of fruit with great structure. The very subtle wood influence adds a beautiful roundness to the wine. The ability to age is ensured by crisp acidity.
655 bottles available, 1500 made.
Cheers, Geoff

The Scent Released: Snowbush
Along the windswept slopes of the Agulhas Plain, there is a plant you may walk past without noticing. Until you touch it. Brush your hand lightly across its leaves. Step through it on a warm, afternoon. Crush a sprig between your fingers. Only then does it reveal itself – sharp, clean, medicinal, unmistakably fynbos. This is Eriocephalus africanus: wild rosemary, kapokbos, or woody snowbush.
At Lomond this quiet shrub is part of both the landscape and the story told through our 7 Rows Snowbush wine.
Until next month – we always welcome your feedback, so please contact us at office@lomond.co.za or 021 388 0095 if you have any questions or queries.
