The nose is beautifully expressive, bursting with intense aromas of zesty lime, fresh cut grass, and ripe gooseberry. Subtle hints of tropical passionfruit and a touch of minerality add layers of complexity, setting the stage for an invigorating tasting experience.
Palate:
On the palate, vibrant citrus and green apple flavours take the lead, supported by nuances of guava and elderflower. The wine's natural acidity delivers a mouth-watering crispness, while a refined minerality brings depth and structure. Each sip offers balance and finesse, with the fruit character remaining pure and persistent throughout.
Finish:
The finish is long and refreshing, leaving a lingering impression of bright fruit and a gentle saline note that speaks to the maritime influence of the Western Cape. This Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect companion to fresh salads, seafood, goat's cheese, or enjoyed on its own as a lively aperitif.
