Sakkie Mouton Dawn of the Salty Tongues 2024 is a small-production white wine from the West Coast region of South Africa. This bottling is produced from Chenin Blanc vines grown in sandy soils close to the Atlantic Ocean, which imparts a notable saline character to the wine. The release features vibrant notes of lime, green melon and sea spray, with a piercing acidity and a lean, mineral-driven palate. Winemaker Sakkie Mouton utilises minimal intervention and skin contact to enhance the textural depth of the wine. It is a focused and transparent expression of a unique maritime terroir, highlighting the potential of the Lutzville region.
