Discover the captivating essence of Cape Point Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc, a wine crafted in the heart of South Africa's Coastal Region. Situated on the breathtaking Cape Peninsula, Cape Point Vineyards benefits from the unique confluence of invigorating sea breezes from both the Atlantic Ocean and False Bay. These climatic influences create an exceptional environment for the slow ripening of grapes, allowing Sauvignon Blanc to express remarkable freshness and complexity. The estate's vineyards, nestled against the south-facing slopes of Constantiaberg Mountain, thrive in soils rich in decomposed granite, limestone, and kaolin-imparting a striking mineral character to the wines. Sustainability lies at the estate's core, with rigorous eco-friendly practices shaping every bottle produced.
Head Winemaker Riandri Visser handcrafts this Sauvignon Blanc with meticulous care, hand-harvesting grapes from select vineyard parcels to capture the purity and vibrancy of the fruit. With minimal intervention in the cellar and a cool fermentation in stainless steel, this wine reflects the best of its coastal terroir-inviting wine lovers on an extraordinary tasting journey.
