Wine description | The wine is translucent with a bright green hue. The nose is opulent with aromas of fynbos, lithci, peardrops , granny smith apples and grapefruit. The palate is lively with flavors of passion fruit, gooseberry and richness from the barrel fermented portion, lingering with fresh acidity and flint. |
The refreshing Sauvignon Blanc grape is perfectly at home in South Africa. The diverse growing regions make for wines that can be nice and grassy with plenty of grapefruit and green apple skins.
While the quality is high, the price is still low. South African Sauvignon Blanc offers you an excellent alternative to the considerably more expensive counterparts from New Zealand.
