Two Dogs a Peacock and a Horse Sauvignon Blanc

Two Dogs a Peacock and a Horse

This wine requires no intelligence to drink.

Perfect for pool parties and your 1000 closest friends. The centre of attention and often found on the backseat of cars, you won’t believe the bottle is finished and will have to reach for another.

A very smooth and fruity wine that doesn’t want to mess with you, with no acidic heartburn or overt greenness after a few glasses.

It pairs best with Dance Some More by Mango Groove

TASTING NOTES
This is the 11th vintage of our fun-loving Two dogs, a Peacock and a Horse Sauvignon Blanc. The wine is translucent with a bright green hue. The nose is opulent and bursts with a cocktail of fruits, showing aromas of white peach, passionfruit, pear, litchi and fynbos. The palate is lively and concentrated with flavours of melon, mango, guava, gooseberry and creamy richness from the extended lees contact and lingers with vibrant acidity and minerality

PRODUCER
They call themselves ‘Rebels of the Vine’ and are pushing the boundaries of a traditional industry and having fun with their wines as seen by their labels. Based in the quaint village of Franschhoek, Kevin, Jacques and Raymond came together to combine their diverse skills and creativity to make great wine. They took inspiration from their surnames to become the Black Elephant Vintners – Swart and Ndlovu become Black Elephant and Jacques is the Vintner! Their wines are inspired by good tunes and they firmly believe that music and wine make the best pairing – far from traditional and very Rock ‘n’ Roll!

REGION
Franschhoek is a broad vineyard lined valley in the southeast corner of Paarl, within the western cape. The vineyards are protected from oceanic influences by the mountains to the south, which also trap southerly cooling winds, lengthening the growing season. Grapes have been planted in the region since the late
1600s, when exiled French Huguenots brought over their viticulture to South Africa and settled in this area, Franschhoek which translates in Dutch to French corner still retains heavy French influence today, evident through architecture and names of vineyards. The hot climate here typically shows full bodied,
complex reds and rich, fruit driven whites, there is also the association of Cap Classique production to this region. Culturally the area is known for its hospitality, music and variety of festivals.
