Description
Fresh, vibrant and beautifully balanced, this Sauvignon Blanc is a showcase of precision and purity. Pale straw in color with a soft green glint, the nose bursts with tropical granadilla, lime zest and subtle herbal notes. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and elegantly textured, with zippy natural acidity and a refined mineral finish that lingers. Crafted for versatility, this Western Cape white is a standout with seafood, creamy pastas, bold seasonings, and spicy Asian cuisine. It also pairs brilliantly with goat cheese or as a refreshing aperitif on its own. The wine’s balanced acidity and crisp freshness suggest impressive ageing potential—if you can resist drinking it now.
Crafted from grapes grown across Franschhoek, Stellenbosch, and the Cape South Coast, this Sauvignon Blanc reflects a season of ideal ripening after a record-breaking winter. Harvested between 18°–23° Balling for bright acidity and ripe flavor, it underwent cold, reductive fermentation and rested on fine lees for added complexity. A touch of Semillon brings balance and depth to this expressive vintage.
