As mentioned in the vintage conditions thewinds reduced the crop of our earlier varieties severely. This however led togood flavour concentration. We generally produce our Sauvignon blanc in atropical fruit driven style as opposed to the grassy, green pepper style. Weregularly aim at making a wine that is generally pleasing on the nose and the palate without the harsh acidity common to many South Africa Sauvignon blanc's.Flavours of white pear, guava and asparagus dominate the nose with slightnuances of melon playing a supporting role. The palate possesses lovely freshfruit flavours with zesty persistence. The lively but not excessive acidityprovides for a long lasting aftertaste.
Due to the winesinherent freshness and lightness it partners well with seafood dishes cooked inlighter sauce. Salads are also always a great option for Sauvignon blanc suchas lemon and herb or Caesar salads as well as delicate poultry dishes andlighter styled pastas. Chévre and lightercheeses are also good matches for Sauvignon blanc’s fresh zestycharacteristics.
