Discover the elegance and freshness of this outstanding Sauvignon Blanc crafted in the renowned Western Cape, South Africa. Grown in vineyards nestled within 15 kilometres of the ocean, the grapes benefit from cooling sea breezes and deep red soils, ensuring a balanced canopy and optimal ripening. This exceptional Sauvignon Blanc is the result of carefully selected parcels from regions including Stellenbosch, Darling, Durbanville, Sondagskloof, and Lutzville. Meticulous hand harvesting in the cool early mornings preserves the purity and vibrancy of the fruit, while extended skin contact and fermentation at low temperatures coax out the wine's distinctive varietal character. The wine is gently aged on its lees for additional complexity before blending, resulting in an expression of terroir and careful craftsmanship.
Perfect for any occasion, this Sauvignon Blanc shines with a refreshing glass on its own or alongside a wide range of summer dishes. Its versatility and lively personality make it a perfect companion for alfresco dining and celebrations alike.
