Koetshuis Sauvignon Blanc 2018
R 160.00
The crisp, grassy De Grendel Koetshuis Sauvignon Blanc was so named because the grapes used to make this wine are grown in the vineyard that sprawls out right next to the old coach house (‘koetshuis’ in Afrikaans) where the wagons of days gone by were once kept.
These grapes are blended with grapes from Darling to create the very fresh wine, with capsicum, asparagus and gooseberry flavours that was...

This beautifully striking wine, which resembles the ‘eye of the partridge’ in colour, combines coppery pink hues with a deeper reddish blush. Exceptionally floral and perfumed on the nose with enticingly sweet nuances of lemon and lime carried out of the glass by wafts of Turkish delight and candy floss.
The sweet delight on the nose precedes a dry entry that bursts into juicy strawberry preserve layered with hints...
