Appellation
South Africa's wine regions are influenced by two powerful oceans that meet at the southern tip of Africa: the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. The combination of beneficial maritime influences, such as constant coastal fog and cooling sea breezes, with a moderate Mediterranean climate, distinct and varied topography, and diverse soils, provides the ideal conditions to create wines of unique character and complexity.

Tasting notes
A classic expression of Sauvignon Blanc specific to the strongly maritime climate and soils of South Africa. It shows a refined bouquet of lime and orange with delicate melon, fig and peach fruit notes. Aromatic, refreshing and perfectly balanced. Ideal as an aperitif or with salads and light fare. 100% Sauvignon Blanc
