Tasting Notes Pale-straw in color with an ever so slight green hue, hypnotizes with a seductive bouquet showing fresh cape gooseberry, nettle, lime, summer melon, blackcurrant and white blossom. This cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc has a sumptuous entry tied to an enduring length. The lifting acidity maintains a lively flavour on the palate with grapefruit zest and elderflower while maintaining a distinctive mineral core derived from the Steenberg terroir. All the elements of this wine will enable it to bottle age well over the next 2-5 years.
Selling Point Cool-climate Constantia Valley Sauv Blanc
Pairings Oily fishes, Thai or Vietnamese cuisine
The Story
