Sauvignon Blanc

A nose of tropical fruit flavours leads to a mouthful of guava and mango.

What is unique about Franschhoek is the high but good acidity, according to winemaker Ryan Puttick. Expressive tropical aromas tinged with capsicum open up to attractive Cape gooseberry, grapefruit and pineapple fruit flavours balanced by a lively but gentle coated acidity that follows through to a beautifully fresh finish of pleasing length. A hint of Semillon adds breadth and fills the mid-palate.

NOTE THIS IS A HALF BOTTLE (37.5CL) This Sauvignon Blanc is pale straw with lemon hues. Lifted aromas of passion fruit and guava dominate the nose, along with notes of citrus and crushed herbs and an underlying wet stone minerality. The wine has vibrant acidity, with plenty of palate weight and length. Ripe, tropical fruit flavours of passion fruit, melon and grapefruit linger on the persistent finish.
