Description
In a nutshell:
Escape the predictable Sauvignon Blanc zip with this Stellenbosch beauty - all creamy richness and subtle oak.
The lowdown:
This South African Sauvignon Blanc presents a delightful interplay of ripe citrus and gooseberry notes. Its richer profile stems from the winemaker's intentional choice of extended fermentation in seasoned oak barrels. This technique imparts texture without overwhelming those classic varietal flavours. Expect concentrated citrus and stone fruit aromas, hints of fennel, and a refreshingly taut, mineral acidity. The result is a superb Sauvignon Blanc with complexity and satisfying weight, a departure from the purely racy expressions of the variety.
The Producer:
Waterkloof, founded in 2004 by Paul Boutinot, is a haven for thoughtfully produced wines. This family-owned estate embraces organic and biodynamic practices, boasting the prestigious WWF Biodiversity Champion status. High on the Schapenberg hills, vineyards overlook False Bay, where cool breezes and long growing seasons nurture balanced grapes. In the cellar, winemaker Nadia Langenegger takes these gems and lets their natural character shine through minimal intervention. The results of her labours shine through clearly in their authentic, elegant wines.
When to drink:
A substantial white which is a delightful partner for oysters or fresh grilled crayfish, its richness adding an extra layer of pleasure.
Suitable for Vegans, Biodynamic
