Sauvignon Blanc 2017
R 100.00
The Sauvignon Blanc is more tropical and fruit-driven than the Koetshuis. It’s made from grapes grown in a vineyard which benefits from the cooling effect of gentle maritime breezes from the nearby ocean where the cold Benguela current runs northwards up the coast.
Pale straw in colour, with youthful lime green flashes around the edges, you will notice aromas of grapefruit and other tropical fruits like guava and granadilla and enjoy its clean, fresh and zippy tastes with bags of richly flavoured, beautifully balanced fruit and long aftertaste.
Drink now or within the next 3 years.
