  • Tasting Notes

    Pale straw with a hint of green, the 2025 Sauvignon Blanc displays brilliant clarity and a lifted bouquet of gooseberry, green apple, and subtle citrus blossom. The palate is vibrant and zesty, offering crisp acidity, lively citrus and tropical fruit flavours, and a delicate minerality. Lightly textured yet expressive, the wine is well-structured with refreshing balance. The finish is clean, lingering, and elegant, leaving a bright, fresh impression that reflects the Durbanville terroir.

  • Food Complements

    Pairs beautifully with grilled prawns, seared scallops, or lemon-infused chicken. Complements soft cheeses and Mediterranean-style tapas. Its crisp acidity, vibrant citrus and tropical fruit profile lift mildly spiced seafood curries or roasted vegetable tarts.

  • Vintage

    The 2025 vintage featured a late winter with adequate chill, followed by a cool, dry summer that promoted even ripening and low disease pressure. Cooler August nights and minimal rain from February to March favoured grape health and flavour. Harvest was slightly later than 2024, yielding fruit with optimal sugars and balanced acidity. The result: brilliant colour, refined tannins, vibrant whites, and poised reds with moderate alcohol.
