Sauvignon Blanc Reserve 2024 - Cape Town

DESCRIPTION: The grapes are selected from vineyards overlooking the sea, where a combination of sea breezes and decomposed granite soils offer a complex wine where the minerality particularly shines. Fermentation in barriques, followed by 16 months of aging on the fine lees, gives this wine greater aromatic and flavor complexity. It is an elegant representation of this unique terroir, with hints of floral spices, cardamom, and white pepper. The aromatic profile features lemon, mandarin, and ripe nectarines, finishing with delicate notes of fragrant spring flowers. On the palate, it is rich and structured, with excellent breadth and precision of fruit and excellent persistence. It expresses itself superbly when paired with oysters or Asian cuisine, especially when accompanied by spices. It is a wine that is not afraid of time, in fact, it can evolve positively over the course of a decade.
